[net.micro.cpm] CCS: Company going under?/info needed

kevinb%sdcsvax@sdcsvax.ARPA (02/26/86)

  I  am  trying  to get some docs on some S-100  boards  made  by 
California Computer Systems,  of 250 Caribbean Drive,  Sunnyvale, 
CA  regarding some boards I bought to upgrade my venerable  IMSAI 
system.  When I tried to call them at (408) 734-5811,  I got a Ma 
Bell  "this  # disconnected" message.  Would anyone in  the  know 
please  contact me at the below address and tell me if they moved 
or went belly-up? Any info would be appreciated.
  I am also looking for an overlay for MEX,  MDM7xx, or any other 
programs  available using the CCS 2719 2 serial / 2 parallel  I/O 
board,  and  am  looking  for info on the CCS 2805  Terminator  / 
Wallclock board, which I am planning on using in an RCP/M. If CCS 
still exists and I can get a valid phone number / address, I will 
be ordering the manual on the thing from them if available.
  One last thing;  has anything special been done with a CCS 2810 
& 2422 board combination? We down here are especially looking for 
interesting  things done with the a custom  BIOS,  ie.  CP/M  3+, 
banking,  ZCPR or Z-DOS , and MP/M implementations. We are trying 
to do some interesting things with them,  and would appreciate it 
if  any  help or programs were sent our way.  We are planning  to 
archive  all  info  we  get,  and will  be  more  than  happy  to 
retransmit as needed.

                             Thanks,
                          Kevin Belles

I currently have a BIOS for CPM 3 that I am currently debugging a driver
for the CCS 2422, I am using a Cromemco SCC for the CPU but drivers will
be available for the CCS 2810, Its just matter of supporting the UART.

If you are interrested in abtaing this BIOS from me send me EMAIL.
I am not currently ready to make it public domain (lack of documentation)
but if your still interrested contact me. The BIOS is designed to be
modular with seperate drivers for the various supportted boards. Currently
I have drivers for the Cromemco SCC, Cromemco TUART, Xebec S1410 hard disk
controller, Xebec SASI interface board for the S100 bus, NCR 5380 SCSI
controller chip.
