I found an 8-inch floppy disk labeled with "CP/M V2.0 9/4/79" which is
crossed out and replaced below with "CP/M V2.1 7/13/80". I don't see
mention of version 2.1 at http://www.cpm.z80.de. Do I have something
unique? Who can I trust to image this and put the contents on the net?

I guess I'm too far to help, but I'd like to have that image and look into it...

As far as I have been able to determine, the only backplane that supports the
MM11-UP is the MF11-U backplane. Does anyone know of anything else that does?

But IBM (at that time) also used the term 'Planar' for 'backplane'. The
backplane
in the 5161 expansion unit [1] is labelled 'I/O Planar' or something very
similar
in the silkscreen.

Didn't Intel use what it called "daugherboards" on some of its line of
Multibus products? That is, the "offspring" products plugged into the
Multibus card, not the backplane.
Am I remembering correctly?

In my continuing quest for a 9-track drive I got my hands on DEC TSZ07-CA w/
a narrow SCSI interface that was supposedly "tested working". On arrival to
me I found it wrapped in a thin layer of bubble wrap w/ some broken piece of
Styrofoam thrown in for "packing".

I was amused to learn that other languages sometimes translate it
literally. Portuguese uses "placa mãe" - "board mother". (Pt takes lots

The canonical textbook is Ralph Gorin's _Introduction to DECSYSTEM-20
Assembly Language Programming_ (Digital Press, 1981). Lots of examples
"Or "the family member you go to when you can't print"."
A functional niche definition, for sure. "When you can't get your email" is
equivalent.
