For those who might fall into the trap, just because someone says their product supports CP/M does *NOT* mean that it supports YOUR CP/M. I own a PCPI Applicard and found to my dismay that my Saturn CP/M RAM disk no longer worked. I've also found several other items, which when the seller was pressed, they said "it supports Microsoft CP/M." While the Sider supports PCPI CP/M, I doubt that the AE drive does - though it SHOULD. I've become slightly cynical since they advertized that Ultra III gave you a CP/M system for your IIc and "supports standard CP/M disks with no preboot!" .... yeah, right. Let me put one of my PCPI disks in (with ZCPR 3 no less) and let's just see what happens. Sorry - I guess my bias is showing. Microsoft isn't the only CP/M out there. [david] -- !
