I'm a retired software engineer. My first home
computer was a Z80 CP/M
system built on the Big-Board II back in the mid '80s. I bought a bare board
kit and went from there. It took me several months to collect all the parts
before I had a running system.
After discovering some very old M80 assembler listings while rummaging in
my basement, I've been bit by the "nostalgia bug" so I dug out my old
system
and powered it on. It still runs after all of these years. The problem is
that I've lost most of my old 5.25 media and therefore the system utilities
. I'm looking for any Big-Board II system disk images/files I can find.
Did you try Bitsavers?

There's a "Master Disk 1" image in the BBII-1_9-1024.zip file, plus
extracted versions of the executables.
