Just a quick update...seems more stable on my II+ machine as opposed
to my II, which has been a little flakey recently. With all the cards
installed in the II+ the machine card will not work with the Z80
softcard .bit file loaded, and it will hang while loading CP/M from
floppy. Removing all the extra cards allows it to work. As I
mentioned, it does seems more stable on this machine, but I need to do
more testing.
