I STILL have a fully-functional Z80-based CPM machine in storage; along with an EPSON MX-80 printer.

I keep thinking I’ll get them out, blow out the literal bugs, and show the kiddos what a human can do when dealing with an O/S that knows its place in the universe.

I let go of my Z80 CP/M machine (Alspa ACI-2DS, 4 MHz and FAST on its 1.2 meg 8" floppies) sometime in the 90s, after the terminal died, and when we were living in some pretty tight quarters.

I'm kind of sorry I did, because it was the first CP/M machine to be registered for the Internet "Map" back in the 80s. (This was prior to the advent of the Domain Name System.) And I used to work for the company -- I wrote its BIOS.

Still have the printer we bought a couple of years later, Epson FX-80 (with one pin sticking), though it's not been out of the storage closet in many years.
