IMSAI Progress

Well, I gave up on the MIO for a while. Tony's explanation,
while good, was making my head spin! Also, I don't have any
26 pin card edge connectors. So I started looking at the
Cromemco 4FDC documentation and, lo-and-behold, it has a
serial port. The documentation on the serial port is clear
and simple, and I now have toggled in a short program to
initialize it and echo characters (also, put them on the
front panel lights). According to the docs, the EPROM on this
board contains a monitor which operates through the serial
port, but, and it is quite emphatic about this, it is Z80
code. Is anybody out there using one of these? With an
8080A? Maybe could send me an alternate monitor to burn
on an EPROM?

Thanks,
Bill Sudbrink
