Anyone have information on one of these? I found a French web site and
was able to figure out a little info but would like to know more.
It does boot up and ask for a boot disk.

Z80s have found a second life of great popularity in the embedded

Just picked one up and it looks pretty sweet, I chose one with a HD
controller in it :) and a 5 or 10 meg HD :) it came with a spare HD
controller, so that's pretty sweet too, I just wish that it had also had
the wood case on it...
