I'll probably have more than enough on my plate just getting it properly CP/M3 compatable! Also as I/we won't be using that particular interface in the *final* product due to size I expect that I'd be postponing the final versions of OS 'til the final interface is ready, (which may not be too long anyway) I've recently ordered a proper RS232 based terminal, similar to a WYSE type. This'll be used to allow me to get it up and running without worrying about terminal emulation and interupt-driven keyboard scanning:-) BTW if you do want to try and knock-up an adaptor PCB to use the broken internal floppies FDC-PCB with an external drive I've taken the PCB off my broken drive and written down the pinouts of the 26way connector, anyone want that pinout posted here?
