Message-ID: <5126@duke.UUCP> Date: Sun, 2-Dec-84 21:20:35 EST Article-I.D.: duke.5126 Posted: Sun Dec 2 21:20:35 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 4-Dec-84 08:49:51 EST Organization: Duke University Lines: 36 Xref: watmath net.micro:8830 net.micro.cpm:3154 My wife and I are about to buy a micro; we've decided on either a Morrow (CP/M) machine or a Sanyo PClone... We like the Morrow for the terminal and keyboard, we like the Sanyo for the IBM-ness and the price. What can people tell me about CP/M in the world today (like, I looked through Byte and didn't see much mention of it -- can software still be found for it?). The particular things we need to do are: - terminal stuff for BOTH unix and VM/CMS; ideally we would like to have a 327x emulator and a vt100, but could manage with only vt100. - word processing. I'm writing SF and a dissertation coming up, along with occasional tech writing etc. What experiences can people tell me about either Morrow or IBM in this (especially in non-WordStar?) IN addition, we're concerned about service, especially since we have not seen much advertizing about the Sanyo yet. Can anyone tell us about Sanyo's support? Thank a lot, in advance as the saying goes.
