Rescued a pair of Zenith Z-100s this weekend. Both an All-In-One
model and a Low-Profile model along with boxes of doc, parts and
software. They were sitting out in the garage of an old friend whom
I hadn't seen for years. When I told him I collected computers he
told me that he wouldn't pay me any more than $10 to haul them
off. :-) They're pretty dirty but otherwise seem to be in great shape.
These are cool little dual processor (8088/8085) S-100 systems.
Also picked up boxes of old software manuals and lots of old 5.25"
disks. Many are originals, others are just blanks.

The moral? Be sure and tell everyone you know about your
strange hobby, never know what might turn up.

Now, in the User Manual, they talk about CP/M-85. I've heard of
CP/M-80, CP/M-86 and CP/M-68K but not 85. I'd guess it is a
version specific to the 8085? Didn't know they made it. Anyone
know anything about it?
