To follow up my earlier request to the net for help with sample CP/M-80
BIOS listings for adding a Xebec S1410 controller and two Shugart SA606
Winchester drives to my system with a CCS 2422 FDC, I got a few suggestions
and comments that indicated others may be interested in doing the same thing
but no specific help.  Even so, I now have the hardware running with BIOS
mods I hacked together and can verify that such a task is not impossible.
The drives formatted to 8.2 MB each with no problems so far.

Source information:  (I have no connection, just satisfied customer.)
The Shugart SA606 drives were $150 each and the Xebec S1410 SASI Controller
was $125 from Paramount Electronics, 649 Arques Ave., Sunnyvale, CA 94086,
(408) 773-9595.  The Xebec S-100 Host Adapter I ended up using was $90
from Hamilton-Avnet.  For a sample BIOS and a diagnostic program in Z80
assembly language, feel free to contact me at the address below.
