Keywords:AMSTRAD CPC HARDDISK PUBLIC DOMAIN Address Hi again, glad someone picked up my last mail. Okay, here I go again. I can only say: NZCOM and Z3PLUS both work excellently for all CPCs. Z3PLUS was actually run on a PCW by Jay Sage for 3" copies. Here's the vendor of the harddisk used by more than 50 people with great pleasure: Dobbertin Elektronik GmbH, Brahmsstr. 4, D-6835 Bruehl, Germany Tel. 06202 / 71417 They also provide a patch for the silicon disk operation ROM, since there is a hardware error (slight) in the device itself. Everything they sell is working faultless and very well made. If you ask for info, please refer to me as well, it helps. Whoever is interested in functioning as a Z-distributor for his country or area, do contact me for public domain disks. I have those available in the Vortex-format, for CP/M Plus Amstrad users, the dpb data are listed here: 24 00 05 1F 03 B0 00 7F 00 80 00 20 00 02 00 02 03 01 (81 on PCW) 50 09 01 00 02 2A 52 60 FF It is a double-sided, 80 Track format with 704 K capacity netto. Remember to send enough either money or return vouchers for mailing about 30 disks to your address. Do allow time, since I do all myself. My address: Schneider / Amstrad CPC User Group Munich, c/o Helmut Jungkunz Zacherlstr. 14, D-8045 Ismaning, 089 / 969374 (anwering machine too). I don't know, what a New-Zealand dollar is worth nowadays, but I think, that the Dobbertin eqipment makes an excellent alternative to buying a PC-Clone. Keep on z-ing, guys! Ciao, -> Helmut Jungkunz <- e

I have recieved some information about Z3Plus from him, and it looks very interesting. I am considering purchasing it, but I don't know that I can afford it at the moment. > Here's the vendor of the harddisk used by more than 50 people with great > pleasure: Dobbertin Elektronik GmbH, Brahmsstr. 4, D-6835 Bruehl, Germany > Tel. 06202 / 71417 They also provide a patch for the silicon disk operation > ROM, since there is a hardware error (slight) in the device itself. Right. I don't have the article any longer which says how much they are (I have saved this one), so I would be interested in knowing the price. Definately the prices would be close, I would have thought. The freight to NZ might be the factor which swings it in the favour of not buying (unfortunately). The dk'tronics ram appears to have a bug in its patch for CP/M plus too. I haven't found it yet, but some really weird errors occur to do with the disk when it is intstalled in certain ways (ie, it modifies itself at boot up to the amount of ram installed). > Whoever is interested in functioning as a Z-distributor for his country or > area, do contact me for public domain disks.

Do allow time, since I do all myself. Okay, that sounds interesting. I will find out how much the international mail of that many disks is, and how the local postal service handles return post payements. Should I send disks which are designed for 360K (IBM style) or 1.2M (IBM style)? My thought is the first, because I have formatted them to 800K before without problems. There are sometimes problems with the others. > My address: Schneider / Amstrad CPC User Group Munich, c/o Helmut Jungkunz > Zacherlstr. 14, D-8045 Ismaning, 089 / 969374 (anwering machine too). Can I just check this address (the bit about the answering machine makes it a little confusing!)... is it: Schneider/Amstrad CPC User Group Munich c/o Helmut Jungkunz Zacherlstr. 14 D-8045 Ismaning Thank you for the offer. I will gather together the necessary disks, and send them off to you later this month. -- Ewen McNeill. Email: ewen@actrix.gen.nz
