[comp.os.cpm] Advent and TurboROMs

SAGE@LL.LL.MIT.EDU (11/14/90)

   Advent does appear to be completely out of business at this point.  I am
in the process of trying to arrange for Sage Microsystems East to produce
the TurboROMs for Plu*Perfect Systems.  It may take a little time to get
this sorted out, but I think it will eventually come to pass.

YAY!!  The TurboROM is too darned good to die!

By the way, I have written an overlay for David Goodenough suite of
UUCP-type programs for CP/M that uses the ZSDOS/ZDDOS time and date
system calls to read the clock.  It works with current release of
these programs.  I have been unable to get in touch with David to see
if he would like to include it with his distribution, so, if anyone
would like to use it, send me email, and I send it to you.

David is in the processing of moving to the West Coast.  I too
have written a clock overlay, but for the CompuPro System Support
1 I have on my S100 boatanchor.  As for one for ZSDOS and ZDDOS,
one has been already written by Dave Goodman.  He and I are both
beta testers of Dave's UUCP software.  It would be interesting to
see anyway and see how the two compare.
