Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is time for simple and mundane questions that comes up
periodically. I hate to be the one, but...

1) Who created/produced/sells MP/M? I'd like to get a packet (once I
   get out of this broke-ness spell) and play with. While you're at
   it, any comments?

2) Could anyone tell me a phone number for Digital Research or whoever
   it is that sells CP/M for them now? DR's 800 number disappeared.

Thnx!

	Each Hardware Manufacturer.

	But, if your manufacturer is "Out of Business" or never did the 
	port of MP/M, you can buy generic package from:

	Discus			408 424-5851    
	340-46 El Camino Real South
	Salinas, CA 93901

>  While you're at it, any comments?
	If you buy the generic package you'll need to write your own
	BIOS and XBIOS.  Most of which will already exist in your CP/M
	BIOS.  Or, you can find somebody with the same type of machine
	with a BIOS already written.
