Well, I did it.

With surprisingly little effort I've replaced the one of the SSDD drives on my 
horizon with two DSDD 96-tpi TEAC FD55F's - from 163k per drive to 784k per 
drive in one evening.  Total cost $283.70.  (2 x $135 for the drives + $8.70 
shipping + $5.00 for one 34-pin edge connector from Radio Shack.)  I even 
managed to add in the archive BDOS patch, ZCPR2 with BIOS inits, and Plouffe's 
2k block mods for the octal drives.

I've written up exactly what I did in a message to NorthStar-Users and will 
forward a copy to any that ask (it's some 24k long).  If response is good 
enough (<4 requests) I'll also post directly to INFO-CPM.  It should end up in 
the <cpm.nstar> directory at simtel20 eventually.
