I found a scrapped box today at work :
2 8" floppydrives , RS232 and printer interfaces. Internally an F8
chipset ( F3850 / F3852 / F3854) with a WD1771 fdc.
Strangely enough a set of floppies lay on top, labeled Cp/M, Basic CP/m
Pascal etc.
Was there ever a CP/M version for the F8 ??
Jos Dreesen
No. The F8 at best was a microcontroller. If anything the unit was a smart
floppy controller for a CP/M system.
