A redirection?  c'mon...he's asking for a CP/M disk for
his Apple II z-80 card.   I'd say that's on topic.  Heck, I recall
someone once claimed that the Apple II was one of the more prominent
CP/M-running systems.   I even had a CP/M card for my Apple ///.

In response to Mr. Cronelio's question...I'm not 100% sure about
this, but it may be hard to find depending on your card.  There were
lots of different Z-80 cards (I mean, like at least dozen)...and
each probably has a different hardware interface.

Your best bet may be to state which CP/M card you have, and
hope someone else has something similar.

- Microsoft made at least 2 Z-80 cards
- Applied Engineering made one
- I think Franklin made one (or it was built onto later motherboards)
- Basis 108 had one built in
- PCPI made a very good one (w/ on-board RAM, and a high clock rate)
...and there were several others.

When in doubt, crack open the case, take the thing out, and examine
it for identifying markings.
