[CCTECH] any ISIS info out there?

Since I've been curious about ISIS for some time, I was glad to finally borrow a copy of the _ISIS-II System User's Guide_. Comparing ISIS to CP/M is quite instructive. I already knew that CP/M has a few design flaws which ISIS lacks. On the other hand, I was surprised at how much memory ISIS takes up. And ISIS has its own design flaws (things are fatal errors that might be recoverable in CP/M, disk formatting can be quite complicated). Does anyone have details on the monitor, ICE80 (simulator), UPM (PROM programmer), or PLM80? I have seen the System/360 version of PL/M but I didn't realize it ran _on_ the 8080. (The manual implies that it does.) Having a system that can develop its own software is important, I would say. (Yes, Tony, we already talked about the front panel and monitor on one of the Intellec systems, but I think this hardware/software is different.) -- Derek _______________________________________________ cctech mailing list cctech(a)classiccmp.org http://www.classiccmp.org/mailman/listinfo/cctech
