I want to replace one of the 5 1/4" floppy drives in my home-brew CP/M system with a 5 1/4" hard disk drive. I currently have two Tandon double-sided, double- density drives connected to a controller board based around a 6502 processor. Are there any hard disksaround that can be "dropped in" as a direct replacement for the floppy?? If not, what is the "path of least resistance" for accomplishing this task? (perhaps I should just start over.) Also, how much will this cost? Any good connections for obtaining said hard disk? I recall someone with "Hard Disk Fever" that posted some stuff a few months back; I'm trying to catch it and seek any help you may offer. Thanks Harold Noyes !hplabs!hp-pc!harold
