Well, only n years late I took the plunge and revised my 2.2 BIOS for my aging Northstar Horizon to CP/M 3. Next weekend I will look into implementing a banked version, though from what I hear my Disk Cache BIOS performs better than the CP/M 3 LRU buffer. QUERY? Console Paging Mode is nice but... How do you stop it from putting out the Dreaded Control X after each pause. And why is it putting out a Control X anyway. Control X puts a WYSE terminal to sleep (why they did that is a good question as well) In case you ask why CP/M 3...I am converting my Write-Hand-Man product to CP/M 3.0 because of popular demand. I may even try TurboDos if I could get it configured for a Northstar Horizon.

I don't know about the ^X, but when I implemented CP/M 3.0 "n years ago", I just gave the O.S. a couple blocks, and cached the disks myself. I'm currently using 256K in a banked configuration (top 16K fixed, and 5 48K banks) "soon" to be 1MB w/21 banks w/RAMDISK as well. Actually I like 3.0 a lot better than 2.2. At very least my files have timestamps, and I've implemented a "make" facility which I like quite a lot. -- Mike Kersenbrock Tektronix Software Development Products Aloha, Oregon

OK daft question time - is the update only for specific machines or is someone willing to post/mail a CP/M 3 BIOS skeleton that I can massage for my machine. -- Regards Derek !seismo!mcvax!ukc!stc!dbmk1 I've heard that re-incarnation is making a come-back.
