[comp.sys.misc] Looking for software: PL/M

morris@jade.jpl.nasa.gov (Mike Morris) (09/30/88)

I've recently stumbled across some old software written in PL/M, and
would like to be able to make some changes.  The target machine is a
Z-80 process control system (actually an amateur radio repeater control
system), the test system is an IMSAI 8080 S-100 system, and the software
development system will be a PClone or the IMSAI.  The ideal would be to 
find a complete package somewhere.  As far as I know, it is not 
available from DR any more...

I compile PL/M 80 programs and PL/M 51 programs using a PC.  The compilers,
assemblers, and linkers are still the Intel products written to run under
the ISIS operating system on their proprietary developement systems (aka
the Intel blue box).  I am able to run these (8085) compilers as is on my
PC by using a V20 CPU chip and a program from Micro Interfaces Corporation.
Sorry, I don't have the address handy, it's at work.  They also have a slave
Z80 CPU board for the ATs to do the same thing as the V20 does for the XT.

You can also get the PL/M compilers from Intel to run under MS-DOS.  Intel
has given up on pushing their own systems.  

I don't know of any programs that would enable you to run ISIS programs
under CP/M.

Pointers are my friend.

Sorry, couldn't get e-mail delivered.  This is really directed at the original
posting.

I have the pl/i program for cpm, complete with the manual.  Since I'm not using
cpm any more at all, I'd be glad to sell it.  Either send me e-mail (but please
be sure I can get back to you--I have only usenet and BITNET access) or snail
mail.
