Just to add to the folkoristic contents of this thread, I know
about the CP/M machine (I have one at home in boxes).

The CP/M  machine used a Z80 to be rearwards compabible with the older SORD, 
the Z80 equipped M5 (?). The CP/M machines name is SORD M68, incidentally.

If anyone know of any software for the M68, please let me know. E.g.
the libraries to drive the various hardware in the Z80 directly from
CP/M-68k (such as: GPIB bus, serial port, etc).

Thanks in advance
