[net.micro.cpm] Big Board II - Take 2

ix255@sdccs6.UUCP (ix255) (07/05/84)

I am looking into the purchase of a Big Board II from CalTex computers of
San Jose.  { (408) 942 1424 } The price of an A&T board just dropped to
$550.  The board supports 5.25" and 8" drives, single/double density, has a
terminal chip which emulates a Lear Seagler ADM 31, four par. ports, two
serial ports, two CTCs and 64k of RAM (60k available to user)

Considering I could get the board, and CP/M 2.2 for $700.  It seems to be a
very good deal.  Anyone have any good or bad experiences with it?  Where
can I get decent drives, power supplies, and keyboards to go with it.
Caltex mentioned a place called Halted in San Jose.  Anyone ever dealt with
this company.

Thanks again.
