<I've been waiting for you, buggie whan...>

What you need to do is hop down to the Radio Shack store and order
TRSDOS 6.2.0, part 26-0316.  It's price varies depending on what
sale/promotion is going on, but I believe you will be able to get it for <$40.
Inside you will find TRSDOS 6.2.x  and a BASIC Interpreter disk,
and a disk called Hard Disk Initialization.  (Might ask the store
manager to open the package and check before you spend the money.)  Anyway, the
Init disk has the drivers and formatter you need to run any
hard disk that has a Western Digital WD1000 or WD1010 controller,
that is port-compatable with the Radio Shack version.

If Percom used a different controller, you are on your own, but I believe
theirs was almost identical to Radio Shacks version.

P.S.  If you are using a 4P, be sure to press <f2> or <2> each time you
	boot the hard disk system using a floppy start-up disk (if you
	plan to run in Model IV mode), or else it will cause the floppy
	drives to make lovely grinding noises.
