Ok good news! Its alive (64k machine) and after multiple M presses (the first few times the key was unresponsive) I managed to get the monitor prompt with title "Disk Monitor c85" displayed along the top. There are a heap of unresponsive keys so I guess that will be my first mission - remove and clean ALL of the keyswitches.
Then I'll check whether there is a later monitor I should be burning into the EPROM, and I'll hook up the floppy unit - I dont have any disks though - I don''t suppose there are flux images of any of the Microbee disks that can be written out via Applesauce FDC? Else I guess I'll install a GoTek (or similar).
And then I'll check out schematics (once I have repository access) and take it from there.
That's the plan as of now anyway
