Okay, here I go again. I can only say: NZCOM and Z3PLUS both work excellently for all CPCs. Z3PLUS was actually run on a PCW by Jay Sage for 3" copies. Here's the vendor of the harddisk used by more than 50 people with great pleasure: Dobbertin Elektronik GmbH, Brahmsstr. 4, D-6835 Bruehl, Germany Tel. 06202 / 71417 They also provide a patch for the silicon disk operation ROM, since there is a hardware error (slight) in the device itself. Everything they sell is working faultless and very well made. If you ask for info, please refer to me as well, it helps. Whoever is interested in functioning as a Z-distributor for his country or area, do contact me for public domain disks. I have those available in the Vortex-format, for CP/M Plus Amstrad users, the dpb data are listed here: 24 00 05 1F 03 B0 00 7F 00 80 00 20 00 02 00 02 03 01 (81 on PCW) 50 09 01 00 02 2A 52 60 FF It is a double-sided, 80 Track format with 704 K capacity netto. Remember to send enough either money or return vouchers for mailing about 30 disks to your address. Do allow time, since I do all myself. My address: Schneider / Amstrad CPC User Group Munich, c/o Helmut Jungkunz Zacherlstr. 14, D-8045 Ismaning, 089 / 969374 (anwering machine too). I don't know, what a New-Zealand dollar is worth nowadays, but I think, that the Dobbertin eqipment makes an excellent alternative to buying a PC-Clone. Keep on z-ing, guys! Ciao, -> Helmut Jungkunz <- e
