       I probably have some spare floppies if you need them.   
   Are you able to boot it into CP/M-80?

       They're all microprocessors and a lot of the same   
   principles apply. I enjoyed the little Z80 and 8086 assembly code I've done.   
   The 8080 would be a bit more restrictive and the 6502 is definitely a   
   challenge.
