Well, for your best bet is to call you local F.O.G. AMO and they can give you the information you need probably. For any new comers to CP/M, you might consider joining FOG (First Osborne Group). They're a nation wide CP/M User Group with AMOs all over the nation. Phillip -- Thanks, Snail Address: Phillip Keen Phillip Keen 2705 Martin Pasadena, TX 77502

Magazines that remember CP/M? How about user groups? I can only read pre 1986 issues of DDJ for so long. While I'm going on like this can you still buy new S-100 cards anywhere or unconfigured versions of CP/M from DRI or anybody else? It idly occured to me that I have a 64K 8085 S-100 machine buried somewhere in the basement that I could put a floppy controller into and run CP/M on. Oh one more thing Philip, I don't think I'll turf my 8" drives - new drives and floppies cost money which I would rather spend elsewhere and reliability is unimportant at my house. Besides, I'm a luddite, I don't like 5-1/4 drives. ********* 73 ********** Richard Loken VE6BSV . **** .. **** Athabasca University .... **** Athabasca, Alberta Canada ..........**** ihnp4!alberta!auvax

Try Amateur Computer Group of New Jersey. Sorry, I don't have their address or BBS phone number handy. >I can only read pre 1986 issues of DDJ for so long. (Sigh) I understand. There is a magazine that still tries to cover S-100 stuff. The've recently had to change to include VME and Multibus, but they are still S-100 hackers. S-100 Journal P.O.Box 1914 Orem, Utah 84057 Another good magazine until bought by M&T publishing was Micro-Systems Journal. It was the re-incarnation of Microsystems that Zipf-Davis killed. Sol Libes did a hell of a good job in starting both, and the companies that bought them, screwed them up. >While I'm going on like this can you still buy new S-100 cards anywhere or >unconfigured versions of CP/M from DRI or anybody else? It idly occured >to me that I have a 64K 8085 S-100 machine buried somewhere in the basement >that I could put a floppy controller into and run CP/M on. You can still buy new S-100 stuff from a bunch of folks. Be forewarned: They don't get any significant business from hackers, so their attitudes, support, and prices reflect that. They sell primarily to OEMs for controller applications. The following S-100 folks advertised in March issue of Micro/Systems Journal: Macrotech (80386 CPU), Digital Research Computers (miscellaneous old stuff), and M&T Publishing (Book: Interfacing to S-100/IEEE 696 Microcomputers). I can't find my recent S-100 Journal issue. >Oh one more thing Philip, I don't think I'll turf my 8" drives - new drives >and floppies cost money which I would rather spend elsewhere and reliability >is unimportant at my house.
