If only it took CF or SD cards & I could get stuff on and off it
without fiddling about, I'd use the thing. Ditto my Z88.
I believe both units were made long befroe there _were_ CF or SD cards,
so I don't see how they could have used them :-)
Both have RS232 ports, don't they? Surely you can get text off them that
way?
I do remember trying a Z88 once. The keyboard put be off ever wanting to
use it for anything serious. I stuck with my M100...

Any more
CP/M-compatible Z80 OSs?
ZCN on the Amstrad NC100 portable. Notable because the NC100 used the Z80
NMI, which you can't normally use on a CP/M system what with it being in
the middle of the default File Control Block at 5Ch. So ZCN has to go
through some elaborate gymnastics involving saving that byte of the FCB and
sticking a RST instruction there instead.
