I?ve been trying to get a similar setup going for a fortnight now and last week found this motherboard on e*ay for Not Many UK Pounds. Coupled with a scrap Athlon64 system from work and a scratched Windows98 CD I eventually got it going earlier and can now read/write single density floppies meaning I can archive the disks I got with my Research Machines 380Z :D

This one took some coaxing to get going but now that it is I have a need to make disks for my TRS80 Model 4P since I only have the one boot disk with it.

My pair are Tandons, they’re in a CPT8500 word processor which I’d also like to get going at some point. Any tips on coaxing them back into life?

Cheers!
