Several of us in Holmdel, NJ also purchased these boards. We would appreciate any information people have, and will share any information we uncover. ----------------------- James Van Ornum, AT&T Bell Laboratories, inhp4!houxu!jhv

After a net announcement that Xerox surplus 820 boards (similar to the original Z-80 "Big Board") were available for $50 from Xerox surplus, about a dozen of us bought them. We have schematics for the original, but these are a bit different (nicer, in fact). We'd really appreciate it if the folks who posted the original message would share with us what they learned about connector pinouts, BIOS, etc, before we start tracing leads on the PC board (you're far ahead of us, since you have already gotten CP/M to run). Our jury-rigged UUCP connection seems adequate for news, but is unreliable for mail, so I'll give a couple of addresses; or, if you don't mind posting a phone number, I'd be glad to call you.
