Subject: Apple Announcement Pending Date: 5/9/91 Time: 9:34 AM Cupertino, 9 May 91 (AP) -- Responding to rumours that a system software related announcement was scheduled for Monday, 13 May, inside sources have said that Apple is about to announce a CP/M compatibility mode for the Macintosh. The software for the new operating mode requires an 80 Mb hard disk, a minimum of 4 Mb of RAM, and the new "8-bit clean" ROMs. CP/M, made popular in the early 1980s, has been conspicuously absent from the microcomputer industry in recent years. -- Mark H.
