Mine has some kind of network interface too. It connects to the parallel port on the CPU board. The numbers had been scratched off the ICs which meant it took me a couple of minutes to identify them. The main IC was a dumb UART (amazingly)
Alas no software. The hard disk contains the OS (enough to boot the machine anyway) but nothing else.

Tony:
I was wondering what ROM you had in the CPU card that boots directly to the hard disk, was it Simon?
I am keen to both archive as much as I can and get my own SCSI disk working with my system. I desperately need a CP/M version with Winchester disk support. The version I have (GM512) doesn't seem to support these disks.
I am wondering if there was any way to image/copy your system tracks. And any ROMs on the boards.
