[net.micro.cpm] CP/M lookalike info request

droms@PURDUE.ARPA (Ralph E Droms) (04/07/85)

I'm looking for information about CP/M source "generators", e.g.

	SCG22 (from C.C. Software, Walnut Creek, CA)
	Source (advertised in Computer Shopper magazine)

and for information about CP/M lookalikes, e.g.

	RP/M	(source unknown)
	QP/M	(from MICROCode, Torrance, CA)
	ConiX	(from Computer Helper Industries, Parkchester Station, NY)
	ZRDOS	(from Echelon, Inc., Los Altos, CA)
	MRS/OS	(from OCCO, Inc., Milford, MA)

Any first-hand experiences, bug reports, etc. on any of these packages
would be appreciated.  I'd also be interested in hearing about other
similar packages.

No information on the items you list, but add another to the list:

ZEDOS - operating system for the ZEDA computer.

ZEDA Computer is in Provo, Utah.

They claim it is "CP/M Compatible", i.e. it can run CP/M software
which uses only lgal BDOS calls.  I have bbeen trying to get some
feedback from anyone who has had experience with this one but no
luck yet.
