The best CP/M machine ever? was Re: Kaypro II

I'm a bit surprised that there hasn't been more discussion about S-100 machines. In particular I would point out the Morrow Decision 1. It's DJ-DMA floppy controller could handle 8" SSSD thru DSDD, and both soft-sectored and hard-sectored (NorthStar) 5.25" formats and a separate hard drive controller was also available of course. Later variations even had a switching power supply. Not strictly a CP/M machine (though probably 90+% used CP/M or variation thereof) and CP/M came standard with the machine. Morrow even provided a UNIX-like OS, the name of which escapes me at the moment (Micronix maybe?). With the addition of an 8086 S-100 board it would certainly run a plain vanilla CP/M-86 system. Other S-100 systems like CompuPro and Cromemco and even NorthStar were all versatile and well-built CP/M machines which could aspire to be called 'the best CP/M machine ever.' In general I would even proclaim the category of S-100 micros as the holder of that title. Bob Stek Saver of Lost Sols
