Subject: Re: Review of Morrow MD3

       My only complaint is that it is very difficult and expensive to
       install a hard disk since there is no bus into which to plug a disk
       controller.  If anyone out there has a relatively cheap solution to
       this I'd certainly appreciate it.

There is at least one implementation of a hard disk system which uses
the Z80 pins as the "bus".  (I believe the company is Xebec)  The system
replaces the Z80 by a module (which has a Z80 buried inside it somewhere)
which connects to the hard disk system.  Further detailed information
can be obtained from me if you send me net-mail (I have to dig up
the info, and will do it if someone asks)

It seems silly to go through all that when Morrow makes the MD-11 for
so little extra $ with a 10MB hard disk, but if you've bought a MD-3
you do what you can.
