I am posting the following for David Goodenough <dg@lakart.uucp>, who is temporarily unable to post to this newsgroup. -- Newsgroup: comp.os.cpm Subject: Superbrain and Commodore 128 questions Someone recently asked: > In the log file that I got there was talk of SUPERBRAIN. What is it ? The Intertec Superbrain is a CP/M machine, can't remember too much about them (I used them a bit while at college back in 1981 and 1982). Main things that spring to mind is that it's a VT52 emulating terminal, uses a 1791 disk controller which has a nasty habit of inverting data written to disk. Like most CP/M machines it has it's quirks, but once you get the hang of how to work around them, you'll be all set. > Many years ago my parents got me a commodore 128 computer, it has a > z80 microprocessor and I've used it for little or nothing. Mostly > because I haved no programs that can do anything or that are any > fun. Is there anything out there ??? > Is there anyone out there ??? You need to get that C128 going in CP/M mode!! First things first, drop me a line with your US mail address and I'll ship out a disk with some useful (read indispensible) utilities. I'll include a communications program all set up for the C128, and once you're talking to whatever host you use (you do have a 1670 modem, right?) I can start E-mailing out the games and other goodies to get the 128 to strut it's stuff. If you have a Q-link account, look me up - I'm Delta G there, and often times stick my head round the door of conferences and the like. If you are on a BITNET host, drop a line to LISTSERV@NDSUVM1.BITNET saying /PDDIR and HELP. That will put you in touch with the SIMTEL20 CP/M archives which are so full of good stuff it's unreal. Please respond by E-mail to the addresses below, not to the addresses in the header, as this is being posted by a friend.
