Looking for software for unusual CP/m card

[dbk-1]

I just got my hands on a Microsoft Premium Softcard //e that plugs into the Aux slot on a //e (It's an extended 80 col card and Z80 card in one). It didn't come with any software and apparently it needs a special version of CP/M to recognize it in the Aux slot. It would be nice to get this card running since it has a 6Mhz version of the Z80 processor on it. If anyone has any ideas on where I could get a version of CP/M that will work, it would be much appreciated - and yes I have tried all the standard info and downloads sites.

Thanks.

I found this:

If you get your hands on an image, you ought to get it out to those standard download sites. ;-)

Thanks for the leads. You got further finding anything about this card than I did.

Unfortunately the links above have proven to be dead ends. The one bit of information it yielded is that the version of CP/M I’m looking for is v2.26. If someone has this version or knows where I could find it, that would be very much appreciated.

I may have what you're looking for. I haven't figured out how to attach a file here, so if you email me your address, I will gladly send you the ZIP file.

Try this one on asimov:

Thanks to both of you for coming up with an image file. I'm waiting for a Super Serial Card I ordered to be able to transfer the images to real floppies and test. And on a related subject... David Schmidt are you also Retro Floppy? If so, I ordered the SSC from you last week -if not, quite a coincidence. Either way, I'll let you know if the images work.
