No worries Brian. Hey Brian I don't know if you remember chatting a while back (few yrs now as life goes too fast). Do you have any copies of the CP/M Start of day disk for the amstrad at all? Struggling to find one for the cp/m emulator on the '16.

Do you have any '16 memorabilia also either digitally or photocopies? I would pay any costs etc :)
