I'll get some in a bit when the kids are in bed - I need to do a 
mammoth photo session anyway, a lot of stuff I acquired this week 
came from a guy who was on Watford Electronics' beta team, so ended 
up getting pre-release stuff. There's some mad stuff there, sadly 
some with bent or broken pins so I need to do a bit of a fixup job.

Ah yes good point.

It does seem to be the same thing. I'll get pics anyway.

There will probably be disks with stuff on but the owner had an Acorn 
Z80 copro too and the floppies are simply marked "Z80", so it'll be 
"interesting" finding out what's what.
