BACK-OT: which CP/M machine is best (to copy)? :)

I vividly remember my Pulsar Electronics Little-Big-Board. It was an STD bus board, sporting a 4Mhz Z-80, 64K ram, 8" floppy disk interface (1.2Mb!!!), RTC, and dual serial ports. The board came with a full BIOS listing, as well as the device specific CP/M stuff. I remember that you could re-link the CP/M innards to allow HDD support (I was never *that* rich). Spent *many* hours on that box, running Wordstar, and a cool pascal compiler called Turbo Pascal. I used a terminal that I brought from the US (ZRT-80). I still have it, in a 19" box, with dual M4854 (5.25" 77 Track) drives. (Boy, it was hard to find the HD media then). The box had the bigest storage on the block, and I was the envy of all my friends when it came out. A mate had an kaypro system that supported dual 170K? disks. (grin) From memory, the board cost about $500 Aus, each drive cost about $450 Aus, and the Apple II power supply for the case cost about $35US from Jameco. All in 1985 currency. Anyway, back onto topic. I still have all of the listings, and the full schematics for the box as well.
