Well, I just recently started playing with my Televideo 806 again, and realized I didn't have *ANYTHING* useful. Even the copy of ASM I have seems to do wierd things with seemingly legal (to me 9-) lines. It is, unfortunately, the 8080 version of ASM, & I need to find a whole *BUNCH* of Z-80 tools for the TVI. I would appreciate anyone pointing me to where to get stuff. In addition, I have a few specific questions: 1) I also have an IBM PC/XT - I remember there was a program for this which would convert just about any CP/M format to another, or between MS-DOS & any of the CP/M formats. Could someone please offer to mail me a copy, if you have it handy, or tell me where to get it? 2) C compilers - whose are they, how well do they work, how much do they cost? I've dealt with C before (on the PC), & since UZI is written in C source I'd like to look into C stuff on the TVI. I'm also interested in UZI, since my first project would probably be to write a decent Csh-like (as close as I could get it 9-) shell for my beasty. 3) Anyone else got a TVI-806 on the net? It's not exactly a common machine, I'll grant you. Kind of cute, though. Wish I could figure out how to get at the 6 RS-422 ports on the back of the machine - they seem to be made for use with Televideo's multi-user OS, which I've heard was 'cute' in the ultimate sense of the word (9-). 4) Does anyone have any assembly source I could grab for dealing properly with the serial ports, up to about 9600 or thereabouts? 5) I believe a bunch of people mentioned an archive sitting around, how do I get to it? In addition, are there any FTP sites with CP/M stuff? As to exactly what I'm using, it's a Televideo 806, 60K, running CP/M 2.2 (I'd love to get CP/M 3.0, but can it use the BIOS from 2.2? I doubt it). It's got a 20 Meg (closer to 13 when formatted, etc.) fixed disk, with A: & B: being the HD, & C: being the 5 1/4" floppy. Far as I know, it's got a Z-80A in it (Z-80 of some sort, at least). I'm using a Wyse terminal as the console. Thanx, <Mowgli> PS. Sorry about the basic questions, but I just got here 8-) -=- Address: mowgli@puffer.cis.ohio-state.edu (Mowgli Assor in real life) Or: mowgli@cis.ohio-state.edu The 2 precepts of Semi-Divinity: (1) Mind Thine Own Business.
