<One more question to go along with this subject. I obtained a Sol but
<have no disk drive. What does it take to add the disk interface and wha
<disk drive would work. Any disk based software or OS available?

The micropolos and NorthStar controllers and matching drives were common.
Most any s100 floppy or hard disk system could be used if:

=The controller would work well with a 2mhz 8080 (some DD controllers
 would not).
=the controller fit in the available slots (there were only a few)
=The controller didn't use too much power
=The drive had their own power supply
