[net.micro] MS-DOS 2.0 for Z100

jrodrig%mitre-gateway@sri-unix.UUCP (03/15/84)

From:  jose rodriguez <jrodrig@mitre-gateway>


	Does anyone know if MS-DOS 2.0 is available for the Zenith 100?
A friend of mine has just got one and he was wondering if it is available.
I have only seen it for the IBM-PC (and, I guess, clones) and the Tandy 
2000. I wonder, how hard would be it be to buy a generic MS-DOS 2.0 and
modify it for the Zenith machine. Beyond the device drivers, what else
would be required?

Thanks for your help,
Jose R.

Extract from Zenith's literature to GEA discussing software available for
the Z100:

16 BIT OPERATING SYSTEM Z-DOS* (MS-DOS* BY MICROSOFT); INCLUDES MACRO
86 16-BIT ASSEMBLER
CLIN 25, MODEL NO. OS-63-4
Z-DOS is one of the most extensive operating systems for 16-bit microcomputers,
and is the primary operating system of the Z-100*.  Z-DOS features include
device independent I/O, advanced error recovery procedure, program relocability,
flexible file characteristics, as well as many operating systems utilities.

Does that help?
