[comp.sys.zenith.z100] looking for z100 hard disk or info

Well, I guess I'll be silly here.  
I've got a z100 at home which seems to be working just fine. 
I'm interested in maybe adding a small hard drive to it, just for fun.
Does anyone out there have a z100 controller card & hard drive
gathering dust?  Or, failing that, how about just the controller card
and info on what kinds of hard drives it could control.  I can't
afford to pay much, but let's talk...

The evil day came. My Z100 (low profile) unit died. The fan runs, the keyboard
clicks, the floppies spin, and the floppy LEDs flicker when I cycle the power,
and there appears to be blank video being generated, but it doesn't run. The
keyboard does stop clicking after a while, but I didn't count how many clicks
it was buffering.

Any suggestions? All I've done to fix this is reset the disk controller board.
I can do simple electronics work, but it isn't my primary machine anymore.
