I just recently acquired a Cromemco Z-2D (don't

necessary accessories and peripherals to test it)... and I'm curious
as
to how many of these were made.
I know they were produced in 1977, but aside from the information
from
old-computers.com, I know relatively little about it.
There doesn't seem to be much interest surrounding them, as I had
trouble finding much on the web.
They're quite nice machines. I used to use one at college. I have a
System Three and some spare S100 cards including a couple of TV
Dazzlers and a shedload (not sure if that's a metric shedload or not
:-)) of serial, disk, and memory cards. Also some Matrox video stuff.
Mine has a twin Persci 8" drive unit (apparently notorious for
alignment problems, and mine certainly needs aligned) and a single
5_1/4" drive of suspiciously modern appearance.
I've not used it much since I got it earlier this year. Too much to
do, too little time :-(
