Hello, here is the problem:  I have a Rainbow 100 with 64K and two floppies
that only runs an early version of CP/M.  I want a Rainbow with 256K of
memory with two floppies and a big hard disk that runs CP/M and Domesdos.
I don't have a great deal of money.  And worst of all (!) I'm in the UK.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a cheap source of hard disk/controller
and extra memory?  Or do I have to go to DEC?  Do DEC still sell the relevant
bits over here?  Can I get the Suitable Solutions software that is so much
talked about in this group through a distributor over here?

So many questions... your help is much appreciated.

Steve.
