Cool, typical of many non horizon NS* systems. A bit of this
and that.
Uhm what are you using for keyboard input if the VDM is output?
The CP/M 1.3 disk, as well as the North Star NDOS
disk, were
given to me by the original builder of the machine. He also wrote a
small monitor program which resides on the CPU board. One of the
CP/M disks is the original Lifeboat distribution disk, while two
others are costumized, handlabled '27k CP/M' and '43k CP/M'.
I did some looking and find nothing that says Lifeboat did 1.3
for NS*. The copy I have is 1.403 for NS*. They may have
done 1.3 but the timeframes for 1.3 and Lifeboat are off.
Sounds like you need more ram. Get another 16k for safety.
A cromemco ram16 or ram17 should be easy enough to find
or other 64k static.
