Lovely late-1980s vintage CP/M machine. A

found a forgotten PCW 8256 and she wants rid of it.
It's in south London.
If no nibbles, try posting on the Vintage Computer forum. I've got
one of these, fitted with 3.5" drives--for a CP/M box, it's not bad,
particularly if populated with lots of memory. Even better if it
comes with a serial I/O adapter and the printer's included.
I often considered gutting mine and recasing it - as a certain
North-East collector might put it "rare as paving slabs" - with a
smaller (maybe 9") monitor, upping the RAM to the full-fat 512k and
maybe a 3.5" disk. Hmmm - I've got a knackered Mac Classic kicking
around and a few 9" CCTV monitors...
The thing that puts me off removing it from my Mum's attic is it takes
up a lot of space for something I wouldn't use that much.
