I had a Z-100, though I donated it to my family's business a while back... I can recover it easily enough, though, if this statement bears out: >Other >operating systems such as UNIX have been implemented using other S-100 CPU >cards on the Z-100. The Z-100 had one of the nicest keyboards I've ever used. If I could run UNIX on it, I would consider adding hard disks and whatnot and trying to use it again. Can anyone fill me in on the details of UNIX for the Z-100? I assume that I would need a 68000 coprocessor or something, but I'd like to know: what CPU? From whom, and for how much? what UNIX? BSD is too much to hope for, but what CAN I expect? what other hardware is supported? (serial port boards, etc) If I receive mail on this, I will summarize to the net (or mailing list, for those of you not on USENET/inet). Thanks in advance. -- Paul Vixie Consultant Work: 408-562-7798 vix@ubvax.ub.com Ungermann-Bass Home: 415-647-7023 ames!pyramid!ubvax!vix Santa Clara, CA <>
