Lines: 26 kit includes a standard PC-compatible hard drive controller and an S-100 card that adapts the controller to the Z-100's bus. The controller is an MFM type, so the ST-225 should work fine. (We used an ST-138 (MFM) that was lying around.) From: zateslo@geomag.fsu.edu (Ted Zateslo) Path: geomag!zateslo UCI claims that the regular Z-100 PREP and PART should work, but they also provide their own formatting utility which we used (successfully). The only problem we ran into was mounting the PC HD controller: the hardware provided (double-stick foamy tape) didn't fit the particular controller card they sent. We just made our own sticky-foam mount. The setup has worked fine for about 3 months now. I don't have UCI's address handy (I will look up and E-mail to interested parties), but we paid $288 for our kit from a distributor, Payload 15718 Sylvan Lake Houston, TX 77062 (713) 486-0687 Usual disclaimers...
