Basically I was having a clean out today with a sighted helper and rather
than throw the floppies away with Pro Dos source on them and some scribbles
etc, I put them back in the torn jiffy bag I got them from Chris Pile in.

so who wants this slice of Sam history?

Since I funded the project the gear came to me when it all ended.

For those who do not know, Pro Dos was CP/m 2.2 for the Sam Coupe.
It was not allowed to be called it but it was. We did try to get Digital
research to validate it so we could call it CP/M but they wanted an obscene
amount of money for that nicety.
