How to replace 50 MB HD in old computer?

This is a unique situation. The computer is from around 1992 (a '386) and
is used for a DOS telephone voice mail system. The Chips & Technology
motherboard has only ISA slots.

The 50 MB hard drive is starting to fail, and they don't make them that small
anymore. All the telephone interface cards are ISA, so a contemporary
motherboard won't work. And I don't think they make any ISA controller
cards which might make a larger HD usable.

So, any ideas? Just go to the local recycler for a replacement hard drive?

Thanks.
