Z100 saved from the landfill

thanks to a pointer originally posted on this list i met up with someone yesterday who bequeathed me his old Z-100 (Heath/Zenith pre-pc era dual CPU system). it took me a while to replace a bunch of the keyboard switches (they were gunked up with glue) and some bad video RAM, but now the system hums along nicely. he had souped it up in a number of ways (except no hard disk, darn) and had tons of software. i'll undoubtedly have extra and will post a listing of duplicates at some point in case anyone's interested. he included lots of cp/m stuff including cp/m85 and cp/m86 and, interestingly, mp/m. so thanks for the pointer guys! (P.S. i've noticed a markedly improved signal to noise ratio on this list lately so people are thinking twice before hitting the "send" button with meaningless chatter or flaming comments - let's keep it up!) tx. - glenn +=========================================================+ | Glenn F.
