My friend has just acquired one of these, if I understand correctly, very rare machines.
It's a demonstration model according to the man who owned it. He also informed my friend that it had OS/2 2.x and Windows 3.x on it though, so who knows if he has any idea what he's talking about.
Anyway, they turned it on and blew a capacitor or fuse or something (I didn't get the chance to tell them that was a bad idea before looking inside) but my friend is an electronics guy so he should be able to sort that out. After fixing the screen (which is what isn't working after that fiasco) we'll go about restoring the machine.
I've never used CP/M or any Z80 computers (and my friend has far less vintage computing experience than me, so he certainly hasn't), so I thought I should let you guys know what's going on with this so that you can help us out if there's anything we need to know.
