You need a suitable drive, a second powersupply card, a disk interface,
cables and a tower for the drive (assuming this is a level 2 machine).

Here model III and model 4 equipment is the same.

As the signals for drive :0 and :1 comes out on the top of the interface
card it is normal to have these drives inside the machine. :0 should be
the lowest drive. You need :0 for booting a DOS. The bottom connector
only carries the signals for :2 and :3 (which must be jumpered as DS0
and DS1).

BTW if it is a level 1 machine you have a unique machine. Level 2 starts
with cass? and memory size? we assume level 1 doesn't.
