Assuming that it is a Z-80 based machine (display of ignorance here!), it
seems that it might be possible to get a HD kit from Emerald Microware which
uses a small daughter board that plugs into the Z-80 socket plus the WD1002-05
hard disk controller.  The one problem that might crop up would be the
software modifications to the BIOS.  I know Emerald has it for 2.2, but I'm
not sure about 3.0.  A telephone call should answer that though.

Ewen, would you care to comment?
