Go to http://www.allelec.com/ Alltech Electronics and get yourself
a Focus hard drive card.  It is an IDE controller with a hard drive
on the card.  Price is $59.  It comes with freeware and shareware
and the OS.

The OS is ProDOS, but the drive can also support DOS 3.3
partitions using FocusDOS, a hacked version of DOS 3.3.  It is
available from Alltech's web site.
