From: Mike Ciaraldi <ciaraldi@Rochester.ARPA> I have noticed a similar problem/feature when running Wordstar. I tried the 8080 version of Wordstar, which works fine on a Z-100 under CP/M-86. Just like Final Word, it ignores characters typed during loading of the program, and the OS ignores those typed while exiting the program. The Z-100 has a hardware buffer in the keyboard, holding 17 characters. The software buffer in the operating system (both ZDOS and CP/M) is about 80 characters. All standard I/O looks in the software buffer automatically. Mike Ciaraldi ciaraldi@rochester
