[comp.periphs] hard disk on Altos 5-15ad how?

Greetings netlanders,
 
I'm interested in running a hard disk (ie. Tandon TM-501) on my Altos 5-15ad
system. I would think I'd just need the appropriate host/controller board
and cables to turn it into a Model 5-5.
 
I've called Altos, and was steered to a fellow selling these boards
for a sinful $2400 per set. This is not appealing to me, as that represents
exactly twelve times what I paid for the computer.
 
Anything helpful would be appreciated. Thanks.
