Message-ID: <465@spp2.UUCP> Date: Fri, 8-Mar-85 21:18:32 EST Article-I.D.: spp2.465 Posted: Fri Mar 8 21:18:32 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 10-Mar-85 07:33:08 EST Reply-To: jhull@spp2.UUCP (Jeff Hull) Distribution: net Organization: TRW, Redondo Beach CA Lines: 21 Summary: I want it. I need help. Last month (I think) in BYTE there was a letter that claimed that someone is now producing an S-100 bus CPU board that will plug into any Compupro system & will let you run both CPM-86 & MS-DOS. The letter implied (or seemed to) that with this board, I could run IBM PC programs. Does anyone out there know any more about this? I am very sceptical because the IBM PC & programs written for it involve a lot more than just the CPU. Specifically, the keyboard & screen interfaces are very well defined. I am very interested because I have over $2K worth of PC SW I acquired during a consulting contract that I can't presently use because I have a CP/M system. I don't want to throw away all of my CP/M stuff & I don't want 2 completely incompatible systems. Does anybody have any ideas (other than the board mentioned above)? -- Blessed Be, Jeff Hull {decvax,hplabs,ihnp4,scdrdcf,ucbvax} 13817 Yukon Ave. trwrb!trwspp!spp2!jhull Hawthorne, CA 90250
