I've still got a pile of Cromemco manuals, and also some Comart ones
(remember them?).

I've got two Z80 based Cromemco boat anchor boxes out in the shed. I
could possibly still make them operate with some work... Floopy only,
however...

We used to use a Cromemco with a DPU processor board (the one where
Cromix ran on the 68XXX and the Z80 was task switched by it to multi
task the CDOS programs and code). That had a 10 meg Rodime HD in it.
