I don't know what is available on SIMTEL20 in this area, but a
publication appeared years ago (part of the "wizard-series") with
a title something like "mysteries of Radio-Shack Microsoft Basic
revealed".  It is a paper copy (dis-assembly??) of the Z80 assembler
for Radio Shack's BASIC.  As I remember it was a f.p. BASIC, although
not awfully fast.
Another possible source is the government clearing house for
technical information (N.T.I.S.) in suburban Wash. D.C.  Seems
to me that they had a BASIC called LLL-BASIC that was developed
at Livermore Lab.  Don't know much about that one either, except
that it exists, it had f.p., and was written in either 8080 or Z80
assembler. 
Good Luck!
