As to what TurboDOS is: The one line answer is to read the Aug 84 Microsystems. The multi-line answer that might or might not start you on the one line answer is that TurboDOS is a closely-coupled network (most configurations are on a S-100 bus) that manages multiprocessors, one per user. A less accurate, but more understandable statement is that TurboDOS is a multi- user operating system inwhich each user has their own processor and share disk drives, printers, etc. I believe it supports 8080's, z80's, 8086's 8080's and emulates either cp/m-80 or -86. Simtel20's 'papa' (Frank Wancho) is an strong TurboDOS supporter. It is a candidate to replace my 5-users-on-one-z80 multi-user micro. -bob bloom

Does anybody know the Disk Format (8 inch) of TURBO DOS? I'm using a banked CP/M 3.0 which can read nearly any CP/M Format. But I didn't manage to read TURBO DOS. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance Johann Zuschlag (I6191008@DBSTU1.BITNET)
