The note posted was by one of the authors, a consulting firm in Virginia. The program (as I recall) is Z80MU, and is a *slick* CP/M emulator. There are a few hoops it won't jump thru (like trying to run a CP/M shell on top of it), but most apps will work. Find it on your local bbs, or try SOURCEry System bbs, [405] 728-2463.

This nifty little program only works with a NECV20 processor installed, but will run virtually any software developed under CP/M. To get the CP/M software running you have to rename every CP/M program to <filespec>.CPM. The program is either shareware of PD (I'll have to look it up) and is available on most FIDO bulletin boards, since it was included in a FIDO utilities release. Ask the Sysop of the nearest Fido BBS; he should have it. If you have no access to a Fido BBS, mail me and I will send you the program if it is PD or ShareWare (still have to look it up...) BTW, the NECV20 processor is fully compatible with the original processor but does some things faster; so it won't hurt to get one!

How will a piece of software accomplish this? Also what do you do about CP/M software written with Z80 opcodes? Believe me, if the above is possible, I would *definitely* be interested in NECV2080.COM. Will it also work for the V30 as well? I have one in my AT&T 6300. I also have some CP/M software that I would be interested in porting if it can be run simply by renaming the file! Jim Greenlee
