I have for several days tried to get through on the technical phone line to
Micropro to enquire about Wordstar 4.0 for CP/M on the Apple ][ Applicard. As
this line always seems to be busy, I am wondering whether someone on the net
can answer my question. Does anyone know what version of CP/M 4.0 should be
used with the Applicard. Is it the "Apple" version, due for release in
October, or is this just for the Softcard ? Previous Apple versions of WS
would not work with the Applicard, unless specifically purchased as such
(or patched). The answer from the sales part of Micropro was that the Apple
version was the same for both Softcard and Applicard. THis may be quite
possible, but I would like to confirm. I can use 8" disks on my Apple, but
Micropro sales that the generic WS 4.0 on 8" would not be suitable for the
Applicard. I find this to be strange, as I have never yet found a piece of
generic CP/M software which would not run on the Applicard (because of the
Applicard itself). Has anyone obtained any reliable information on this
subject from Micropro ?
