Can someone suggest good magazines dealing with CPM (and perhaps TurboDos)?

Thanx in advance,

Imagine, somebody from Digital Research asking about TurboDOS magazines!!
(Actually, I second the request..)

Well, CP/M, CP/M-86, CDOS (Concurrent DOS), MS-DOS, Turbo-DOS,
CP/M-68K and several other, less well-known, DOSes are discussed in
regular columns in the magazine S-100 journal.  This is a new magazine
(only 6 issues printed so far) exclusively for S-100 bus machines
(IEEE-696 bus).  Their address and subscription rates are:
$14.00 for one year (4 issues), $25.00 for 2 years (U.S.A.)
Canada and Mexico: add $3.00 per year
Other countries: add $6.00 per year.  All foreign payments must be in
U.S. currency.  Send orders and payments to:
S-100 Journal
P.O. Box 914
Orem, UT 84067.

The articles tend to be a bit defensive ("Gee, aren't we so much
superior to the PC world?") but contain very good information, and
it's one of the few places where you can find S-100 construction
articles as well as new products for CP/M machines.

I've noticed that the CP/M-80 world seems to be mostly Apple ][
computers with Z-80 cards, or S-100 machines, or old Kaypros.  I have
an original Altair, as well as an NEC PC8801-A/16, both running
CP/M-80.

(You don't think we still *support* that stuff do you?)

Actually, the request stems for a desire for information on applications which
run in the TurboDos environment, as I have friends who are running such.
(Also, CP/M is before my time at DRI -- when CP/M was King, I was helping with
TRSDOS (did I say that?)).
