put you in touch with somebody who has a use for it. A friend of
mine is very involved with packet radio, and the software at the
repeaters still runs on CP/M, because it works, and nobody wants to
go to the effort of porting it. It may not be practical for him to
take them, but there are packet radio groups all over the country,
so he can probably point you at the nearest if needed.
If I can find the drive, I would not mind donating it. But the
controller is still needed for my Z-80 system. It also interfaces
with a 5-1/4" and 3-1/2" floppy drives, and a 20M hard drive. It is
sort of a CP/M 2.2 system with ccp replaced with Z???. (I can not
remember the correct letters for the Z-80 code replacement.) On the
other hand, I may still have a bunch of extra S-100 cards laying
around. The CP/M system is all S-100 cards, but I used to have more
then one S-100 system.

While I am cleaning out stuff, I should probably find a home for my
Sparc-Station II, and a bunch of SCSI drives.
