other boards are long gone. I have to make a minor
solder repair to
the powerboard for the floppy still, but after that I'll be trying to
boot CP/M 1.30 from Lifeboat Associates from a North Star disk
system. Now that my move is almost here, I can start thinking about
working on this machine again.

Ah, you may need more memory for that. The Lifeboat NS* dist for 1.4
needs 4k more, they sorta grafted the NS* dos to the BIOS as disk
drivers so it's a bit fat. I bought the 1.4 copy way back when (it was
new release then).
Assuming its for a NS* Horizon it will be personalized for the default
NS*
IO addresses. HOWEVER... it was also distributed without IO
personalization. You will need NS* dos and one of the monitors or do
it from the front pannel. I know I did that using the first machine
(altair)
before I moved to a real NS* horizon. DOCs for that version are a must
or hope there is a readable example on disk.
