I like it! I used a Displaywriter occasionally at IBM, but I never knew it had an 8088/86 in it! I didn't even know you could get a general purpose operating system for it. It was a very nice machine, and ran a version of Displaywrite nicer than _any_ of the PC implementations. I'd love to get one for my collection... Well, there you are. A non-IBM-compatible with an 8088/86, and made by IBM too! I would add the FTS series-88 - a very strange British box with an 8088 in it, also running CP/M-86. An 8086 CPU card exists, but the machine was soon replaced by the FTS Series-86. This machine was sold as the "Non-compatible Compatible" - it ran a multi-tasking version of CP/M-86 called Concurrent DOS, sold by a company whose name escapes me, but begins with P (Pegasus?). It ran Lotus-123 from an IBM disk with no complaints, even drawing graphs on the (monochrome) screen. I must get mine working sometime... Now for what Allison was waiting for - a mention of Honeywell :-) When FTS went bust, they sold the design of the series-86 to Honeywell-Bull, who marketed it as the Microsystem Executive. Needless to say it died :-( Philip.
