I just scored an apparently-working Z80 CP/M system (Xerox 820) at an estate sale. The computer lives inside the monitor, plus there's a keyboard & HUGE two 8" disk drives. One of the floppies will boot it to an "A>" CP/M command prompt. What in the world will I do with it? #retroComputing #z80 #cpm

after I had it on for 20 or 30 minutes, it let out the magic smoke from an X-class capacitor on the PSU board. #retroComputing #sparky #magicSmoke

I found some info from someone who had a very similar failure and positively identified the failed capacitor (mine was unidentifiable): http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/Xerox/820-II.html
