Hi. I've just joined your mailing list.

Currently I'm working on getting a Cromemco Z2 system with dual 8" DSDD
drives setup. I have cp/m 2.2 and CDOS. Unfortunately, I have no docs,
except a cp/m 2.2 manual I downloaded from the web. If anyone has a
similar system, and can make a cp/m 3.0 8" floppy, i'd appreciate it.
My plans are to attempt to rewire a Teac 5.25" floppy drive to make it
appear to be a DSDD 8" floppy drive.

I have several Terak computers in need of serious work. These were computers
that would break down frequently back when they were in service back in tehe
80's, so they break down after being 'repaired' (the contacts seem to go
flakey, both on teh boards and mainly on the socketed ram chips).

If anyone has any technical information on the Terak floppy controller, or
on the shugart 800 floppy drives in the Terak, i'd like to have a copy.
preferrably I would want to setup my 5.25 floppy drive so it can be used
on either computer system, but the Terak uses a 40 pin ribbon cable,
skipping pins 1-10 on the shugart drive. I'm curious as to which connectors
on teh interface cable are actually necessary for the Terak floppy controller
to operate properly.
