Does anyone know how difficult it would be to add a hard disk to a Morrow Designs Micro Decision I? Those $350 disks look awfully tempting. I was about to buy a MDII so I would have two floppies, but I would rather buy a one floppy system and add a wini myself. Is there room & power to add it inside? What can I use for a controller? They have a connector for an external disk, but I assume it is a floppy interface. Wm Leler wm.tektronix@Rand-relay

The answer I got was that it would have to be redesigned The power supply is not big enough and the disk controller will not support it. I'm assuming the person I talked to knew what they were talking about. The unit was not designed for hackers, but for businessmen. Sure is tempting though, especially at that price with the software. It appears to me the other alternative in a low cost 8-bit z-80 system is the Lobo Max 80.
