*whistles in amazement*
Well, this is what I mean when I say computer history. In a good way of course. How the heck did you managed to find the correct hardware to build this?

@256byteram Hi, just a bit of an update: I cleaned the PC outside and in, and the drive heads too. I can see now that it is a Z80-based system. I fired it up and connected a laptop running Hyperterminal with a serial USB interface and it works. Well, the A: (and C:) drive works but the B: (and D:) drive doesn't. Just wondering now how to backup the system disk with only one drive. Also wondering how to transfer a floppy image from PC to the CP/M system... might need to buy a HxC floppy emulator?

A billion led on the front of the computer? Disk drives in a separate box? 1979 CP/M? If that is not oldschool then I don't know what is it. Who says that a Pentium with Windows 95 is old, knows nothing about computing!
@Strider505 Well imagine your Crysis as a Wolfenstein 3D clone with monochrome ASCII graphics (characters as pixels) and beeping sound effects, that is more possible...

@ForViewingOnly I am playing a bit zork1 in a Commodore 128, in CP/M mode, in the Vice x128 emulator... So, it's posible to play it in modern PCs :D

@RP0I Chances are the camera didn't like the sudden change in light.

wow, nice setup...this reminded me on a interior of a rally or dtm cars...lots of switches and leds...nice. it is 8080 from Intel or it is a Zilog derivate?

@psychonaut25 The 8080 is an Intel device. The Z80 from Zilog is binary compatible with more instructions.

Hi, I have an old computer called a PC-80 (not sure if that means 8080 or Z80). It is in storage and hasn't been used for decades. I'm planning on firing it up in the next few months. If I find that the 8" floppy disks have degraded over time and won't load CP/M, is there anything I can do to make the machine usable? Or is it useless without the CP/M disks? Thanks.

@ForViewingOnly I can't find any information about the PC-80. What manufacturer is it? You might find it has a basic machine monitor which could allow you to bootstrap the computer from a PC should the CP/M disks not work. I would want to make sure those old drives are clean before putting anything in them first.
