I am searching for information related to CP/M 68K. For instance:
When will it be generally available?
What will it look like?
(will it incorporate any features of CP/M+, or
is this applicable?)
What will it cost?
Will it have concurrency features?
or will a concurrent version
be available?
Is it available now?
What sort of support are people aware of/anticipating?
I understand that CP/M is being/was written in
"C". Will the "C" compiler be available with
CP/M 68K? Extra? How much?
Is there a consensus regarding *NIX (any
flavor) vs CP/M 68K? Seems to me that *NIX
may take away the 68000 O/S market from CP/M.
What do you think?
Third-party software porting? Know of any
plans for porting compilers, word-processors,
DBMS's, etc?
All information will be appreciated, including responses to the
queries above. If response warrants, I will be glad to summarize and
post to the net.
In addition, has anyone any experience with IEEE-696/S-100 based 68000 systems?
Know of [in]compatible, [un]reliable, just plain good or bad support boards
(I/O, memory, disk controllers, etc)? I am thinking along the lines of
incrementally built systems, pot-pourri style, not necessarily the commercial
"systems" like Cromemco's or Dual's. Recommendations along these lines
will also be appreciated and summarized.
Thanks,
