Well, here goes my first posting to this group, and I hope it makes sense I know the MODEL I might be dead but for me it has served quite a useful purpose, to enlighten me in hardware and software difficulties first of al let me describe my current system:C{ MODEL I running CP/M 2.2 (ZCPR3) 20 M harddrive 2 serial ports (1 running terminal) a real time clock. The CPM me and a friend have developed from scratch , he did the hardware and I did the software. And I thi7{k we are ready to release it to public domain. The hardware documents and the BIOS source code. The system works quite fast and is relatively cheap to convert to CPM .... I just don't know if the demand for CPM is there anymore. So mail me and let me know if anyone is interested in this posting if not, I will go back into obsecurity. Naresh mail : bangia@gpu.utcs or bangia@utcs -- -- N.

Well, I for one would be very interested in getting your CP/M and I suspect there are quite a few model I users out there who feel the same way. (On Compuserve and GEnie, I have run into a LOT of people who still hack with the model I.) Although I only use the model I for playing some fun Infocom games, it would be fun to be able to hack around with a public domain OS. Will you post the sources? Sure would be nice. Another thing, how much work would be involved in getting the CP/M up on a model IV? I assume not all that much. What does your hardware modification consist of? Remapping the lower 16K of memory? So in conclusion, go ahead and post the CP/M. Thanks. Mark
