Thanks to those who responded to my "how do I put a hard drive in a 181" post.
I'll summarize for the benefit of the masses:

1) There was an official upgrade package which has been discontinued but may
   be available from dealers. Call Heath if you want part numbers and whatnot.

2) There is a drive which connects to the serial port; it's slow as sin but
   works (and exists). Call Welltech, 800-333-5155 or check your favorite mag.

3) Both of these cost (past and present tense respectively) about $1000 list.
   Use your own judgement.

4) Interestingly, there is a fellow in Arizona who builds HD upgrades for
   1_7_1's. I talked to him in the course of my search and apparently
   convinced him that there's a market for the 181. If you want to agitate,
   call Serendipity, 602-938-3728.

Hope This Helps (tm).
