Interesting, I was not aware of that feature. It appears to be a
hardware feature. works with control+ alt+ enter on my machine.

I'm not sure specifically on the z-160 but my z-150 had it (iirc and it's been
a while ctrl+alt+ins or ctrl+alt+enter) I think put you in the diagnostic rom

Curiously though i dont know if that is a hardware function or a feature of
zdos?

Yeah, quite an odd pop up design on the drives,, but it works quite
well, it is pretty comfortable to use.

Picture of the parallel port drive i am using is attached. Looks like it
will be pretty nice if i get it working, i picked it up in box at a
scrapyard, the driver floppy was destroyed beyond reading, and took me a
while to find the drivers for.

If it can run DOS 3.20, or depending on WHICH MS-DOS 2.11 is available, then
the 360K drives can be trivially swapped out for 720K.
