    One item about the Corvus Concept I forgot to mention was how they
achieve their claim of CP/M compatibility.  This is done by emulating a
Z-80.  The raw processor speed of this emulation is about the same as a
1MHz Z-80.  However, since IO calls are handled by the regular 68000 IO
routines, most CP/M programs (if they do IO) run about the same speed as
a 2MHz Z-80 system.  So if you HAVE to have access to the CP/M software
base, this is what's available.
