Re: Getting started with my Z-80 card

[Roy Miller <millers@inetnebr.com>]

Your card looks a bit like a Microsoft Z-80 card, so I would think that the M$
CP/M disks would work ok with it.

Yes, you must have the CP/M on disks that can be read in an Apple II, one of the
problems with an Apple CP/M is that the disks are incompatible with almost (if
not all) all other CP/M machines (like an Osborne, or a TRS-80, or my Kaypro 2X)

I'm afraid that *I* don't have the disks that would you need (my Apple CP/M is
for the PCPI card, and I've been told that they won't boot a M$ Z-80 card,
perhaps an AE disk would.), but hopefully someone here can help, or you could
try the comp.os.cpm newsgroup.
