Looking at what's listed, I don't think there's anything on those disks

Oh, it's worth keeping an eye out for a Nimbus Domesday system by the
way. They did exist, although I don't know of any survivors anywhere.
Other than that there's nothing really special about the Nimbus
hardware, it got boring after the 480Z days! (there's actually nothing
special about the Domesday Nimbus, except nobody seems to remember what
model of SCSI controller it needed)

480Z machines
are hard to find now, although there' a plastic-cased one
on E-bay at the momnet, I think. The older metal-cased version (black
painted, like a 380Z keyboard) is, I am told. rarer.

I missed that, but thanks for the hint. I am now the proud of owner of
a 480z with colour monitor and floppy drive.
There is a nimbus for sale as well, which says it comes with quite a
lot of software on 5.25". I'm guessing this is either 480z or 380z. Is
anyone on here bidding on it ?
I think I'll try and get it for those disks.
