Re: Orange +?

: It seems to me that I saw Orange computers at one of the early West Coast
: Computer Faires (one of the fist three or four). The CPM chips would appear to 
: indicate that there is a Z80 (or 8080) and supporting circuits on the
: motherboard, taking the place of the various Z80 boards used in the Apple II+. 


Yeah!  I took another look at it and indeed right above the 6502 there 
was a Z80 processor.  The board has a lot of nice thinks about it 
(built-in disk drive plugs that clip the drive ends in place on the 
motherboard rather then a card, for instance).

I'll be that this design has a snagged Apple ROM chip though :)
(probably the one chip with the non-labelled cover..heh heh)
