MDADS II disk drives

Greetings,
We are running samples that produce huge data sets on a Coulter EPICS 753
with the "newer" MDADS II electronics console. Because of these big data
sets, we have filled the MDADS disk drive (40MB) before the entire tube set
was done on several occasions. We then have to offload the data to our
file server (not exactly greased lightning) before running any other
samples which tends to play havoc with scheduling. This is a new problem
for us in the 8 years of operating this instrument as we have always been
fairly creative at juggling file transfer time with the schedule.
Has anyone successfully installed either a bigger disk drive or another
disk drive in addition to the existing hard drive on a MDADS II? If it is
possible to install an additional drive, does anyone have an old drive
collecting dust that they would be willing to part with? Thanks for your
help.
