I went to three different places that carried old test equipment before I
finally found one. Ithaca lives! She comes up with a Z80 ROM monitor
that happily talks to me at 1200 baud. I can dump memory and registers,
and best of all, I can boot from the floppy drive. The only disk I have
contains Micropolis BASIC. Now I'm off to the CP/M archives to see if I
can find her a proper O/S.
