Howard,
I had a very similar Godbout machine, the eprom burner I used plugged into
the s100 bus and protruded above the top of the case so you had to leave the
top off. Gaadz was that thing noisy.

I actually contacted "digital Research" and got them to give me a licensed
disk copy of the CP/M2.2 documentation. They practically made me sign away
my soul, of which I probably don't have one, to assure I wouldn't pass
coppies of that stuff to anybody. Sure saved a lot of reader time or braille
translation.

that machine, I think, ran a 6MHZ Z80
