I am trying to run the CPM emulator Z80MU on a Zenith Z-180 Laptop and I am
having trouble determining what is needed in the AUTOEXEC.Z80 file. The
Z80MU.DOC file isn't much help. I would appreciate any suggestions concerning
the appropriate contents of this file. Without it or with an "empty"
AUTOEXEC.Z80 I get a BDOS error.
Also, does anyone know of a CPM terminal program that does a VT 100
emulation. Vt 52 is as good as I can find and our VAX has some features that
are only usable with a VT 100.

I run Z80MU without an AUTOEXEC.Z80 file. I believe that I ran it that
way when I had a Z-180. But, put DIR into it and see what happens. If
you still get the BDOS error, try another copy of Z80EMU or another Z-180.

I have an old version of Z80MU, a Z80/CPM software emulation for PC-DOS. I tried to get ahold of Computerwise Consulting in Virginia with no luck. Does anyone know what the last version is and if any work is being done on future versions? The executable is in the public domain.. is the source, also? We find the program useful and would like to move it to unix, if we can get the code.

Yeah, I realized this after thinking about it for awhile. I'm sure Z80MU passes alotta info to MSDOS directly. We already run it on our 386i by running it through a DOS process; I was hoping for a method to get it directly on UNIX to help performance.

The .DOC file for Z80MU310 (the last version, as far as I know) mentions that they started out by passing calls to DOS directly, but as they went along, there were subtle incompatibilities between CP/M semantics and DOS semantics tha they had to program around. The heart of Z80MU is an assembly-language Z80 simulator that depends on a unique mapping of Z-80 registers to 80x86 registers. You could probably port that module to your 386, bu forget it for other processors... -- Jay Maynard, EMT-P, K5ZC, PP-ASEL | Never ascribe to malice that which can jay@splut.conmicro.com (eieio)| adequately be explained by stupidity. {attctc,bellcore}!texbell!splut!jay +---------------------------------------- Free the DC-10!
