Hey all,
I'm trying to get rid of some of the vast quantities of misc. random crud
I
have piled on every flat surface, and one those items
is a stack o' Z-100
software.>
[snip list of software and *really* generous offer]

Will, I'd love to take you up on this but for the following two Really Good
Reasons:
1 -- I've already got the diskettes you mentioned.
2 -- Although I have a lot of MS-DOS software for the Z100, I have no
intention of polluting yet another machine with MS products.
To the group: as the proud owner of two really pristine Z100s (one with
hard drive), I am amazed at the paucity of CP/M-86 software available for
this system. Most of the CP/M-86 stuff on the 'net is of the "CP/M-86 for
the IBM PC" flavor.
And *forget* about CP/M-85! It seems as if nobody ever used the 8085 MPU
in the Z100 . . .
Anybody care to 'splain me why this is? Am I the only person on the planet
who has/had any interest in running CP/M on the Z100?????? To me, running
MS-DOS on a Z100 turns it into just another kinda-PC-clone.
Later --
Glen
