Due to utter cretinisms of the Internet powers that be, NYSERNET connectivity
(To which TOPS20.RADC.AF.MIL's net connects to that runs INFO-HZ100) was
interrupted for the past week.   It may be stable now, it might not be - so
INFO-HZ100 email service may be flakey without notice.

It is easily possible to put a 5.25" 1.2MB (AT type) drive on the Z-100 
8" connector with a home made or store bought (REMARK magazine ads) cable.
I believe info is in our PD Lib on PD3:<HZ100> on SIMTEL20.ARPA.   Without
the software patches, the 1.2MB runs as a Z-100 naive format (actually true
IBM format that IBM ignored for the AT format) 1.2MB 8" drive that is not
interchangeable with the AT format without running the software patches as
detailed in REMARK magazine.   Basically, the cable gets you the Z-100
realm of interchange, FORMAT and DISKCOPY support it, etc.  The software
patches the MS-DOS/disk read/write to use the unsupported AT format, other
programs (in the PD LIB) must be used to FORMAT the AT type disk.

I am shooting for 1.44MB 3.5" disks on the 8" connector.  REAL SOON NOW.

Cheers,
Gern
