Moore"I'm a Xerox 820-II 16/8 user, and I'm trying to set up my RCP/M making use of the 16/8's co-processor. I can use one processor, say, to assemble a program, and the other to work on word processing, but I when I try to use one processor for NON-disk I/O, it just sits there. I.e., it seems that the processors will work at the same time only during disk I/O. To make it short -- If someone logs onto my system while I'm word processing on the co-processor (BYE on Z-80, myself on 8086), they can't use the system. It hangs. If I press CTRL/RET to get back to the Z-80, they can. Is there a way to let them use the system while I use the other processor? (are there even any 16/8 users there??) Maybe this is just the way dual processors work; I'm a novice as far as knowing how the things work, but it seems like an annoying "feature". Please mail directly, not through INFO-CPM. Thanks, Andrew -------
