I had several, even an older TRS-80 Model 16, rarely knon. It had a passive backplane and 2 mother-boards. One was the traditiona Z-80 board which if I remember correctly had 2 Z-80s in a design similar to the Epson QX10. It also came with a second board with a 16bit Motorola 68000 ! You would first boot in CPM the Z80 board and the insert the Boot 16 disk which would boot-up the 68K.It was an icredible machine and software for both processors. I don't know exactly what the 68K board ran because it was kinda user-space boot. I also had the TRS-80 Color Computers which booted in BASIC, and finally the later series in the late eighties had DOS. I has one of those as well. -- Alejandro Imass _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
