[sebhc] Z-100 software

[Barry Watzman]

I'm not personally looking for a specific Z-100 document at the moment, but,
having said that, by no means has everything been scanned, and by no means
do I even know of all of the documents that exist.  So for the Z-100, it
would be more useful to post what you have and I will let you know if I want
to scan it (or others can advise if they would like to have it scanned).
The service manual, much of the technical manual and the CP/M-85
documentation, among many other items, have already been done.

I am, however, looking for some Morrow "ThinkerToys" S-100 memory board
documentation, as well as for some Processor Technology documentation (EPT -
"Encyclopedia Processor Technica") and the "Simu" (or "Simucisor") Persci
drive diagnostic exerciser simulator program (on SOL-20 cassette tape).

Barry,

What documents are needed. Will check my meager pile of stuff (Z-100 &
H8/89) and see if there is anything you guys need.
