Hmm... Would anyone be willing/able to explain the CP/M-86 OS to me --
either on or off the list? I'm still new enough that DOS was my world until
Windoze came along...

Sure -- that's how I set mine up, but to me, running MS-DOS on it makes it
too
much like a run-of-the-mill PC, whereas running CP/M-86 gives it more of a
"vintage" flavor. Make sense? (I'm not feeling very articulate today)

Jeez, Joe, now I'm really gagging. MS-DOS on a Z-100? Yuck.
The Z-100 was intended as a dual OS machine. You had the best
(presumably) of both worlds: CP/M and MS-DOS.
