At this point, I would like (initially) some pointers ]and info... I just put mine in semi-retirement in favor of a Tandy 1000, but I think I can help. ]To start off, does anybody still manufacture double density disk boards. ]Percom had the DoublerII and Logical Systems had the 5/8 Switch, I think. ]Both used to have them, but I dont know if they still do.... Try Tandy, they may have a few of theirs in stock. Failing that, try: Aerocomp Redbird Airport, Bldg. 8 P.O. Box 24829 Dallas, TX 75224 800-527-3582 (outside Texas) 800-442-1310 (in Texas) They sell one for $99 without Dos ($159 w/LDOS, $179 w/NewDos 80) ] .....What about a cpu speedup kit? 1.78mhz ]is the pits. My rams are 120ns jobs (I >think<) so it can handle a z80a. ] ]One other question - has anybody hacked together a 80x24 crt controller ]system? ....... Try Holmes engineering. I don't have their address handy, but could probably find it. ]Still going- I have a cross assembler for z80 under unix, but what I'd like ]would be a z80 C compiler - either a cross compiler running under unix or ]one in z80. Anyone have pointers to that? I think Tandy might sell one for the Model III/4 series. If not, I definately think that one is put out by the people that write their PASCAL, Alcor systems. ]Are there any model I owners left out there? Please drop me a line! ][btw, have you seen 80-Micro? last time I bought a copy, it was >500 pages!] Yeah. A couple of years ago, Wayne Green sold it to CW Publications. It now caters mostly to the Model 4 crowd and is almost totally a review-oriented publication. It also now runs just over 100 pages. :-( -- Name: John Ruschmeyer US Mail: Monmouth College, W.
