Try talking to Emerald Microware [ (503)641-8088 ]. They make a hard disk
adapter that fits under the Z80; you lift your Z80 out, plug it into this
board, and then plug the board where your Z80 goes. It talks to a Western
Digital 1002-05, which they also sell (WD doesn't even admit this thing
ever existed anymore; it seems that if it doesn't plug into a PC they're
not interested). They sell software to drive the thing.
They advertise in Micro Cornucopia if you want to look up an ad.

  Sorry it took so long, but I've found that adding hard disks to a VT180
would be about 500 dollars...  Will save up for a 386 instead!!  If you
want sources and supplies to do it, mail me back and I'll send them.
  It is doable, though, and if you want to keep a cp/m system running,
there is quite a LOT of stuff still availiable out there..
