Back when I used to have a Z-100, a bit over a year ago, I did have a 3.5"
high-density drive in it.  (the driver I had even supported 1.6M of storage,
which, though it is non-standard, was very nice.)  I got the driver package
from a guy named Paul Herman.  He sells a lot of nice Z-100 software, and
also runs a magazine name Z-100 Lifeline.  With luck, there is someone else
around who has Paul Herman's address and will be able to pass it on to you.
If you don't get that address in a day or two, drop me a line and I'll give
my father a call, and have him look it up for me.
