While cleaning up my disk library on the weekend, I found about 40 CP/M disks that I used to use back in the early 80's with my //e and Z-80 card. Boy, how I loved Wordstar! CP/M is also where I met my first Kermit, too. When I traded in my //e for a GS in 87, the Z-80 card went with it. So here are some questions: 1. Is Apple ][-compatible CP/M as dead as I think it is? 2. Does anyone, anywhere, write commercial CP/M stuff anymore? 3. Do Z-80 cards even work in a //GS? If you reply by email to jimdean@bnr.ca, I will summarize for the net... especially since our Usenet feed is three days slow. -- Jim Dean Bell-Northern Research, Ltd |"Badgers?

Jim:
In response to your posting:
1. Is Apple ][-compatible CP/M as dead as I think it is?
- Regrettably, yes.
2. Does anyone, anywhere, write commercial CP/M stuff anymore?
- Believe it or not, MicroPro upgraded your beloved CP/M WordStar
about two years ago; they may still have Apple CP/M format
disks in stock.
3. Do Z-80 cards even work in a //GS?
- A friend runs an Applied Engineering Z-80 card in his GS without
any complications he has been moved to mention.
