Does anyone on the list know of a CP/M implementation for the TRS-80 Model II computer? This is a Z80 based system running 8" drives. Any help would be appreciated. I just scrounged up this system for $50 and have a BBS program for it, but it requires CP/M to run. Thanks... Dave Goodwin Goodwin@SMCVAX St. Michael's College Winooski, VT 05404

I've had a model II in regular use since 1981 (pretty good reliability
for Radio Shack!) and have used Pickles & Trout CP/M. It's one of the
best BIOS implementations I've ever seen. I haven't kept up with P&T;
try contacting them at their 1981 address:

I have the Software Supermarket Lifeboat Associates version.
I can dig up an antique address for you or a more detailed description upon
request. I don't know how it compares to P&T or any CP/M implementation on
any other machine.

They no longer directly support their CP/M product. However, Trisoft in Austin, Texas does continue to sell the Pickles and Trout CP/M for the Model II. They also offer pretty good support should a user have any questions. Sorry, I don't have the phone number here, but I'm sure you can get it from directory assist. ken brookner n5lpi ihnp4!techsup!kenb
