All a person had to do was buy a Z80 and install it (from the Laser tech. specs.). However Laser never sold the chips themselves, and the newer versions lack this. We could have a had a no-slot CPM card for $5!!!!! But not enough demand I suppose. +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Michael J Pender Jr snail mail: Box 1942 c/o W.P.I. | | Bitnet: greyelf@wpi.bitnet 100 Institute Rd. | | Internet: greyelf@wpi.wpi.edu Worcester, Ma 01609 | | User #20 at H.U.G.E.
