I am considering buying a 68008 based single board computer system and hooking up two 5 1/4" Dual sided, Dual Density disks and running CP/M-68K as an operating system...the entire box would cost me about 1400 dollars (to hook into my terminal) My problem is that I want to write an OS and utilities all by my lonesome, but that I need a 'C' compiler and some sort of line editor as a bare minimum...I know that I can use the line editor 'ed' that comes with CP/M (however poor it is) but I cannot seem to find any outlet for software running under CP/M-68K here in San Diego....can anyone help me? (Speaking of which, is there anything available via the CP/M Users Group??) My basic idea is to have a sophisticated system for less than a huge amount of money...the configuration would have 128K RAM, 640K of storage space (both drives) and an 8Mhz clock rate...which would probably keep me amused for a while... Thanks for whatever help I get!!!! Dave Taylor
