Even a 5 meg drive would > be very nice! Try talking to Emerald Microware [ (503)641-8088 ]. They make a hard disk adapter that fits under the Z80; you lift your Z80 out, plug it into this board, and then plug the board where your Z80 goes. It talks to a Western Digital 1002-05, which they also sell (WD doesn't even admit this thing ever existed anymore; it seems that if it doesn't plug into a PC they're not interested). They sell software to drive the thing. They advertise in Micro Cornucopia if you want to look up an ad.

Will save up for a 386 instead!! If you want sources and supplies to do it, mail me back and I'll send them. It is doable, though, and if you want to keep a cp/m system running, there is quite a LOT of stuff still availiable out there.. Jim agnew, AGNEW@VCUVAX.BITNET End of line. -- NCP, "Tron"
