WANTED: A version of CP/M that runs on a Cromemco
and supports Tandon 8" and 5.25" floppy drives.
I can't boot my copy of CP/M.
Long ago I bought a copy of MICAH CP/M for the Cromemco configured for
PerSci 8" drives. My PerSci drive unit died last summer, so I
replaced it with a Tandon TM828-2. Now I can't boot my copy of MICAH
CP/M. (MICAH also sold CP/M configured for the Tandon, but at that time
my PerSci's were working, so I got the PerSci version.)
I've tried writing to MICAH twice and gotten no response...most likely
they've moved or aren't in business anymore. My most recent address
for MICAH is:
Dr. Jerome Freedman
MICro Applications and Hardware (MICAH)
15 Princess Street
Sausalito, CA 94965
Questions:
1. Does anybody out there in California know if he/they still exist?
2. Does anyone have the Tandon version of MICAH CP/M they could send
me? (Yes, I'm a registered owner of MICAH CP/M, for whatever THAT's
worth these days! :^)
3. Is any other version of CP/M for the Cromemco available that supports
Tandon drives? I'm not the only orphaned Cromemco owner looking for
CP/M. I'll pass along any info I can find to others who would like it.
4. If anyone has just the Tandon floppy disk driver code, I might be able
to install it myself. (I think the source code for the PerSci drivers
came with MICAH CP/M, along with some way to install it. I think I
could substitute the Tandon driver code without too much pain.)
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
