I gave away a couple of 68K S100 boxes to a friend a couple of years ago.
Since then, I've gotten that Z80 Starter Kit with the S100 connectors. What
sorts of boards might I be able to find for which there is Z80 code? Could
I find/build a floppy controller and get some sort of CP/M BIOS ROM and
turn it into a CP/M machine? I guess I'd need a serial port for a console,
at least a 5.25" controller, and BIOS source (with a cross assembler).
Anything else? Is 32K reasonable for CP/M, or should I go for 48K? The
only copy I happen to have, BTW, is an original CP/M distribution disk
for the Commodore 128. Will that be adequate, or should I dig for something
more generic?

Thanks,
