     WHich Ampro?  A LB/Z80, or LB/Z80+?  The first has no capability for
a hard drive without adding Ampro's host adapter ( goes under the Z80...
sells for $99 ).  The LB/Z80+ has the SCSI port installed already.

     You might be able to convince your parallel port to talk to the WD
controller, but it's FAR easier to just go SCSI.
