If there is anyone out there who has done system level programming on this machine, I would like to talk to you concerning some very basic yet undocumented features/commands. For example: - How does one reset the real time clock. The documentation mentions the following: A> DATE SET But that does not seem to work. - The 10+ supports several printers, yet it is not documented anywhere how to access them and switch printers from within a program (assembly language, Pascal, C, etc..) - The operating system seems to have a bug concerning the release of the printers. When more than one user tries to print a document to a common printer from within a program (i.e. Wordstar, Dbase), the second user's program seems to hang until the first users exits his program (back to the system prompt). - Is it possible to detach the console as in MP/M, to run a background task with CCP/M 8-16? Also, if anyone has any hardware reference manuals for the machine, I would also like to find out how the communications are done between the Z80`s and the 8088 CPU/Disk Drives. I have made several attempts to contact D.R.I., the dealer where I bought the system, and even Compupro to get some of these answers but all in vain. Any help in an of the above topics is appreciated. Curtis C. Generous generous@lll-tis-b.ARPA {akgua,allegra,cbosgd,decwrl,dual,ihnp4,sun}!idi!styx!generous
