<I'm just about to consider firing up one of my old CP/M S-100 boxes just fo
<spite and to see if I can get it to run the way I want. It starts with
<wanting the CPU board, and I'll probably have to try several, to run the 8
<MHz Z-80H I still have lying about somewhere. Then I want to run the 8"

I say go for it.

FYI, Murph the NS* horizon turned 21 this year. It's NS* box, and cpu(_at_
8mhz), compupro ram, my 765 based floppy and a Teltek MFM controller.

I also have a compupro with 512k of static runnign at 6mhz.

the killer system however is using a 84c050 z80/10mhz, MMU with 512k static
ram (no waits) smart floppy and smart HDC. The floppy and hdc system are
8085 powered and have their own DMA (Ieee696 TMA) interfaces. I started
that system back in 81 and for years it was the PC killer.
