Someone just gave me a vintage 1980 Morrow hard disk system.  
This is a 14" 26 mb monster with a s100 controller card.
I have an h100 (HEath/zenith) s100 system running msdos 2.11.
I also need help!
can any one give me some advice on this thing?
how about device drivers for disk systems --- does any one have the source
code for a programmed transfer device suchas a hard disk that they could share
with me.
what problems am i getting into (s100 compatibility? etc)
can i convert the controller (sa4000 compatible to sa506 412 etc )???
  then i could chuck the drive for one of the cheap 10 or 5 mb drives!

I know this seems strang in a world of $400 hd's for the PC but not when
you consider that the cheapest controller for an s100 is about $600 and with
a drive that comes to $700+ which my spouse doesn't think is necessary (i tend
to agree with her).  

should i chuck the whole thing and try for something more plausible such as
world peace by year end or faster than light travel???
