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.
