I am about to replace an old CPM machine with something a bit more
modern. I use a BBC micro (US Model B) in my office and have found it
at least as good as the various IBM-clones that we have here.
The new BBC-Archimedes is likely to be available in Canada (from
Olivetti) in January and I am wondering whether I should wait until
they are available rather than going for an IBM clone.
I would like to hear from users (most likely in the UK) about the
Archimedes. How good is it? Will it run most BBC Model B software?
Will the port of UNIX to the machine really be available by next
spring? Is the IBM emulator out yet?
