The RS external drives for a EX1000 are listed at 99 dollars.
This comes in an external box with no power supply and a special
cable that has combined power and disk signals. It takes some
fiddling to get the right connections for the standard wires on
a PC or Z100. I have one that I use on my Z158. A simpler solution
for the same price is the Toshiba 3.5 in drive in a 5.25 inch frame
and bezel. Just replaces your 5.25 inch drive. I use one on my H89,
and have installed several on a PC. On my 89, I just configur as
a 96 trk drive, and format works fine. I don't know about format on
Z100 for CPM86 or MSDOS.
