Several manufacturers of peripheral cards for the IBM PC, and also manufacturers of PC compatible machines offer a Z-80 card and allege CP/M compatibility. I would be interested in the experiences of any users who have such equipment and what, if any, CP/M compatibility problems they encountered. Are there speed or performance tradeoffs associated with operation in CP/M? Is there much software available in a suitable format for these machines? Do the hardware manufacturers support the CP/M; i.e. well debugged BDOS, BIOS source listings, etc. Is CP/M 3.0 supported, which would allow utilization of more than just 64K of RAM? I would appreciate any and all comments. If there is sufficient interest, I will post a summary to the NET. Bruce White John Fluke Manufacturing (...!decvax!microsof!fluke!sota)
