Nope, I have a machine and it lights up.  I haven't opened it up to see
if it is actually a z80 or if it is the 8086 card I read about.  The
disks are supposedly a 360K capacity, but I don't know whether they are
1 or 2 sided, and if they are hard or soft sectored.  I will hopefully
get a chunk of time this weekend open it up, and see what I have, as
well as to check out the TRS80 Model 1s I got out and put on the dining
room table last weekend.  I've developed an 8 bit itch lately :-)
