Damn.  My feed from comp.os.cpm seems to have died at the end of March.

The documentation for the BBCBasic(Z80) that came with the Z80 second
processor is available at the BBC Documentation Project.  I can't remember
the exact address, so look within http://members.magnet.at/marku/bbc.htm
 
Years ago I wrote a program that converted BBCBasic(Z80) for the Z80
second processor to use standard BBC file I/O instead of CPM file I/O.  It
is available on my website at 
http://www.mdfsnet.f9.co.uk/Software/RomProgs/Z80Basic.zip
 
It's a long time since I uploaded it, so it may not be the most up-to-date
version.  I'll check tomorrow.
 
It clearly states in the documentation that you need the original
BBCBasic(Z80) v2.20 for the Z80 second processor.
