From: utzoo!decvax!decwrl!amd70!acw Newsgroups: net.micro.68k Title: CP/M 68K Article-I.D.: amd70.1402 Posted: Sun Feb 6 20:32:04 1983 Received: Tue Feb 8 03:03:04 1983 References: crimson.1461 I called Digital Research last week and received the following info: CP/M (TM) 68K will not be released until 3/15/83. The price will be $350.00. The package consists of 5 8" single density floppy disks, and contains a C compiler, an assembler, a loader/linker/library manager, a debugger (DDT), a line editor, and several familiar utilities such as PIP, STAT, etc. CP/M 68K is a single tasking, single user system a la CP/M 2.2 for the 8080 and Z80. Most of the system is written in C. Digital Research has not announced or committed to releasing Concurrent CP/M, CP/M+, or MP/M for the 68K. I assume such follow-on products will be made available if market response warrents. CP/M 68K in its initial release is certainly not a UN*X substitute, but it does seem to offer a reasonable set of tools for a reasonable price to let us home hackers start making some use of the 68K.
