Date: 12 February 1987, 10:05:11 GMT From: Hein Paul Osenberg 4564 K326910 at CZHRZU1A To: INFO-68K at UCBVAX This note is for Adam Feigin: feigin@linc.cis.upenn.edu I have been trying to send this note to you directly but my computer does not seem to like the way I specified the address. Thank you vor your information on the Force CPU-2 Board. Maybe I can also give you some news. I have CP/M 68K running on my board with a BIOS which I have written in C. It does Disk caching (From an Article in BYTE), it has a RAM Disk and uses interrupt driven serial i/o. If you are interested, i can send you the source. I also have a Modula-2 Compiler, that is sold by a german company. It is not very expensive, but unfortunately it has a lot of bugs. As for OS9/68K, I have been looking into that too. I also found the port pack too expensive. There is maybe a port of OS9 for the CPU-2 that is comercially available : PLESSEY builds a board that is identical to the CPU-2, it is called PME 68-2. The Plessey representative here in Switzerland told me that they have an OS9 port for that cpu. I don't know how much it would cost and it is not in their catalog yet. I hope, that this is of help to you. Hein
