DiskPack for $5. By April 1993, PHI had sold a total of
approximately 300 copies of DiskPack.
During this time, Mr. Flanagin also worked on possible
modifications to DiskPack so that it would work on PC emulators.
The Z-100 Lifeline solicited interest in such modifications. By
December 1992, only two people expressed interest in a PC-
emulating version of DiskPack.
B. The SCSI Board
In November 1990, there was a get-together of Z-100 users.
Approximately 50 people attended. A discussion among the
attendees led to the suggestion that some of the more
knowledgeable Z-100 users should attempt to produce a SCSI Host
Adaptor (SCSI board) that would allow Z-100's to interface with
Z-100 peripherals such as CD ROM's, tape backup units, and
removable cartridge drives. Mr. Herman recruited four
individuals, including Mr. Flanagin, to develop the SCSI board
for the Z-100. Mr. Flanagin would develop the software necessary
to run the SCSI board.
As of February 1991, Mr. Herman and the group had not
determined how to finance, promote, or sell the SCSI board.
By mid-to-late 1991, the SCSI board project was nearly
completed. Mr. Herman solicited orders for the SCSI board
through the Z-100 Lifeline. The announced price was $249. At
