    I probably have some spare floppies if you need them.
Are you able to boot it into CP/M-80?

    They're all microprocessors and a lot of the same
principles apply. I enjoyed the little Z80 and 8086 assembly code I've
done. The 8080 would be a bit more restrictive and the 6502 is definitely a
challenge.
