I've just bought a Morrow S-100 Z80 computer with a 16M hard drive
and 5.25" floppy. This beast has a "Wunderbuss" that has a real
time clock, and several serial channels out. There are some
things that I'm looking for:
Since I can read hard/soft sector disks, I think there should be
or must have been a utility to read NorthStar disks on this machine.
(I think it's an MD-1, but I'm not sure). Any body have something
like this?
Has anyone installed DateStamper for this machine?
I also have a 256K RAM card that was intended for use with
Micronix - a Z80 UNIX. I'd like to check out CP/M 3.0. Has
anyone ported to this machine? Alternatively, does anyone have
a RAMDISK driver for the expansion memory?
Finally, has anyone upped the hard drive to a workable size?
(Like 40 Megs or so)?
Thanks.

MD-{1,2,3,11,34, etc) are single board computers. i have 2 of these suckers and they have a very nice floppy controller and a fairly surreal cpu card (z80 with mmu). >Since I can read hard/soft sector disks, I think there should be >or must have been a utility to read NorthStar disks on this machine. if you have the morrow cp/m for this sucker, you should be able to read northstar hard sector 5.25 inch disks directly. the most current cbios i have seen is version 3.1E. >Has anyone installed DateStamper for this machine? no, but i am interested in this as well. in addition, i would like source code to a date/time stamper to add to my heavily hacked cpm-86. >I also have a 256K RAM card that was intended for use with >Micronix - a Z80 UNIX.

Alternatively, does anyone have >a RAMDISK driver for the expansion memory? ron jacobs, an ex-morrow employee will gladly sell you for a few bucks, a ramdisk driver. his last phone number was: (415) 525-0212 (berkeley, california). >Finally, has anyone upped the hard drive to a workable size? it should be possible, given cbios and mwformat source. i have both, if you tell me where to send it. (or, i could e-mail it to you) (legal eagles: is this legit? morrow is no more) >Steven V.
