Yes, I know.  I wrote it! <g>.


    Are you referring to the code in the ROM on the card?  I think I
bought one of those cards on eBay.

No, the Z80+ did not have an onboard ROM. I developed most of the driver software and configuration utilities that were shipped with Applied Engineering's "CP/AM" operating system. This used a third-party CCP and BDOS which were compatible with DR CP/M and a highly-customized BIOS (both Z80 and 6502 code).

The work was done under contract with AE, circa 1985-86.
