I ran a early version of Z-CPM on my old Xerox 820, as I remember it was way better at file handling and had added commands. I would suggest that is the way to go.

Oh boy. Thanks for the leads, E. Yeah, it's Z80, but as I understand it, there's some specific OS scroll function for the tiny screen?

Anyway, after downloading the free resources and apps, how do you get them on the machine? Will the box accept a DOS formatted 5 1/4" floppy with the OS, or is there a special format tool. Also, do you know if the serial port can use a modern (non tube type) modem?
