I have a 'Big Board' system board.  Is it likely this CP/M package would
run on it?  It's either a Xerox 820 'clone' or the Xerox is a 'clone' of
it.  Mine is a board that was used for years at Sperry in an embedded
controller app and I replaced the original Monitor ROM into it a few
years ago.

It has the 50 pin Drive connector, but that can be worked around.
