Another company has been selling a similar system for about 3 or 4
years now.  Emerald Microware in Oregon at (503) 641-0347.  Same deal
with a Z80 host card and connected to WD card.  Runs up to 2 64M
hard drives off a single card.  I don't remember the cost; in particular,
the hard drive card side (not host adapter) varies depending on
availability.
