[comp.sys.tandy] Asking about CP/M availability for TRS-80

rjh@ihlpa.UUCP (02/12/87)

I recently acquired a TRS-80(tm-Tandy) Model 4p.
I am looking for a public domain CP/M or CP/M BIOS for the machine.
I am also interested in recommendations for inexpensive versions of
the same (inexpensive is defined in this case as <= $100US).
Are there any versions that are being marketed that I should consider
avoiding?
Please, respond via E-mail.

I know of two versions.  One is offered by Montezuma Micro and
costs about $150 (maybe a bit more).  The other is sold by Rose (or
something like that) and sells for about $80.
Supposedly, the MM version is a good bit "slicker".
Pick up an 80Micro to check out the prices.

If you do find a PD CP/M, let everybody know.
Good luck.
