Hi Owen
I have a working M20. I can get you a disk that boots.
I don't recall if the BASIC is in disk or ROM but I have that
as well as a program called OliWrite ( word processor ).
I would be vary interested in anyone that has access to
the assembler for this machine.
Are you intending to make it to VCF at the end of the
month. If so, I can get stuff to you then. Otherwise, email
me and I'll see what we can do.
