A friend is looking for a version of 8080 FOCAL that he known to exist for CP/M. I have a Z-80 version of the language, if anyone is interested, but he only runs an 8080. It is not on Royal Oak or the CompuServe CPMFORUM. Guess I better get around to subscribing to GEnie... An alternative could be to pop a Z-80 in his DEC Robin (aka VT-180), but I never heard of anybody trying it. Thanks, rcs.

An alternative could be to pop a Z-80 in his DEC Robin >(aka VT-180), but I never heard of anybody trying it. Is the Z80 version the one that I sent to Bernie Eiben back when the MARKET system was supporting KERMIT? I did the conversion to CP/M on my VT180, which uses a Z80. (The "Robin" uses a Z80 instead of an 8080; Bernie also had ZCPR running on it.) I was about to add the Library Open functions so that FOCAL could read CP/M disk files when I left the Colorado School of Mines and lost access to a real TOPS-10 system. -- Joe Smith (408)922-6220 | SMTP: JMS@F74.TYMNET.COM or jms@tymix.tymnet.com McDonnell Douglas FSCO | UUCP: ...!{ames,pyramid}!oliveb!tymix!tardis!jms PO Box 49019, MS-D21 | PDP-10 support: My car's license plate is "POPJ P," San Jose, CA 95161-9019 | narrator.device: "I didn't say that, my Amiga did!"

The Robin comes with a Z80 (as did the Rainbow). Sure, it has a DEC 21-class part number on it, but it's a Z80. The Z80 version should run just fine. It's interesting how soon the Robin is forgotten at DEC. (They were referring users to me a year ago!) By the way, anyone have an 8088 Focal?
