 +Sorry if this is a bit off-subject ... I could use a hand with this
 +Z80 based SBC - I've been trying for over 6 Months to gather
 +additional information.
 +
 +It is called an EDM-80.  Initially my take on it is an "Educational
 +Development Module" used for courses in Computer Science classes.
 +
 +It is a Z80 based SBC w/several edge connectors supporting the Bus &
 +Parallel Ports and has a full 25 pin RS-232 connector on board.
 +
 +CURRENTLY it does not work properly - I am working on a "TEST BIOS"
 +for it.  So far I can get it to access the ports and spit out some
 +useful data to prove the board is OK.
 +
 +I can only assume the original BIOS it came with has a problem.  The
 +serial port just keeps spitting out garbage like it was stuck in a
 +loop.  My logic analyzer seems to support my initial findings.
 +
 +It is powered by a single +5vdc @ 800-1200ma (a single 7805 regulator
 +won't work long)
 +
 +I would like to acquire more information on this particular SBC and
 +any ADD-ON components and software (ROM code) it might have originally
 +come with.
 +
 +So far ... the information I have developed from the hardware
 +documentation and the EPROM state it might have a video controller
 +board and runs as a smart terminal (for a lack of better words).  The
 +ports are addressed similar to a CP/M style system.
 +
 +Anyone hear of this unit?
 +
 +Thanks for your consideration,
 +Ed
