If anyone is contemplating adding an inexpensive hard disk to a floppy
only CP/M system, they might want to consider the following. A company
by the name of Advanced Concepts in Boca Raton, FL, provides a very
good solution. All you have to do with one of their systems, is pull
the Z80 out of your system, insert their daughterboard into the socket
where it came from, and put the Z80 back in a socket on the daughter
board. Then an installation program is provided that places a boot
image on the hard disk, and you are all set. Your system boots
initially from floppy, then by running the hard disk install program,
the hard disk is brought on line. I have recently installed their
system into my Televideo 803, and I can say the hardest part was
opening the system to pull out the Z80. It is worth noting that if
there is not enough space to take the daughter board inside, extension
cables are available, so that the board can be placed outside your
system enclosure.

Their address is:

Advanced Concepts
8926 South West 17th St.
Boca Raton, FL

Disclaimer: I have no connection with Advanced Concepts, I am just a
satisfied customer.
