[] I'd looking to upgrade my Apple II+ with a CP/M card, and would like recommendations on the best card to buy. I've heard some cards use the Apple's memory, while others have their own RAM (and thus can chug along at clock rates > 1MHz); is the cost of the extra RAM worth the increased performance? Also, will the card work with the Apple //e as well? Finally, has anyone heard about a product for adding CP/M to the Apple //c? I've been hearing rumors that such a product is/will be available, but can find no specifics about it. Please reply via e-mail to me at: ...!ihnp4!wucs!wuibc!etm And thanks in advance!

There is a book by Steven Frankel on the various cards availble for the Apple II and the CP/M system in general.(The compleat book on CP/M for Apple...this isn't the exact title as I lent out the book and am only sure about the weird spelling of 'compleat'). Another good summary was provided by in Byte, Dec. 1984. ray

The latest Nibble has an for a ][c CP/M card from Applied Engineering. The card fits inside the case (probably voiding the warranty if it isn't already dead). CP/M is supplied with the card. I believe the price is around $150. Applied Engineering has an excellent reputation. I have one of their add on memory cards for the ][e and it's great. One caution: Putting more chips in the case will only create more heat. I don't know what, if any, overheating problems the ][c has. Many mail order suppliers sell Applied Engineering cards. I recommend Programs Plus (again, see Nibble). Disclaimer: I have no financial or other connection with Applied Engineering or Programs Plus. If they would care to give me a commission for my recommendations, I would be happy to change this disclaimer. I have only a slight financial interest in Nibble. -- Mike Eve Boeing Aerospace, Seattle ...uw-beaver!ssc-vax!ssc-bee!eve
