Those who are contemplating getting a HARD DISK for their  ADAMS, 
here is the complete list of what you will need and where to  get 
it.  I have listed only one vendor, simply because that is who  I 
normally  deal with.  These parts can be obtained from  them,  or 
any  number of other places.  It is just that all of these  parts 
work well together.

We  only  order when we can get 20 at a time.  We will  hold  all 
checks  up  until we order.  We will send a post card to  you  to 
inform you that your check or money order has been cashed and let 
you  know that your stuff will be along with in 4 weeks.  If  you 
decided  prior to our ordering, just write or leave a message  on 
the  BBS and we will send you check or money order back.  Once  I 
have  cashed the check, there will be no refunds.  We are  buying 
this as a users group and sending it to you at the cost we  paid.  
There   is  no  profit,  and  therefore,  no  refunds  once   the 
merchandise is ordered.

To contact JDR, call 1-800-538-5000.  The parts listed above  are 
from their newest annual catalog # 7.  Tell them you were sent by 
the AKRON ADAM USERS GROUP.  They accept checks, money orders and 
COD shipments, along with MASTER CARD and VISA.

The  system  that I suggest is the ADAM with  the  interface  and 
MINISCRIBE  drive.   You then get the housing from  JDR  and  the 
cables  listed above and that is all you need.  But feel free  to 
shop around and see what you can get.  We are working at  getting 
some  PC-XT cases that you can mount everything inside of.   Will 
post news of this if it happens.     BJ

when you get the interface, it will contain all the software that 
you  need for both EOS and CP/M.  This will include  installation 
programs, diagnostics, and useful utilities.  All software is PD, 
but  the  interface is copy protected with PALS.   This  software 
will include the latest verison of TDOS and the HD EOS drivers.
