There is the Cambridge Z88 or Amstrad NC100, quite the same form factor. But they are younger and so more evolved and complex. so you get different feeling Inviato dal mio BlackBerry, il dispositivo mobile più sicuro   Messaggio originale   Da: mega...@yahoo.com Inviato: 6 giugno 2020 01:22 A:

yah I am quite satisfied with the effort, and encouraged. This idea hatched a year ago and it fell from my active thinking for a while. Now that CP/M is really here (beta unit being evaluated now), I became interested in getting this to work again. On Fri, Jun 5, 2020 at 4:23 PM Joshua O'Keefe

Hey guys!! Many thanks - extraordinarily helpful!!! One thing I will say, is that I appreciate that all the information I need is inevitably out there, but even in the context of this group, searching for it, knowing it when I find it, and understanding what I'm reading is far less obvious

Sounds great Steve, keep us updated on this. You may have mentioned this before, but do the two processors share the bus simultaneously, or is only one or the other (like a Commodore 128)? From: M100 on behalf of Stephen Adolph Sent: Friday, June 5, 2020 10:4

Hello all, Interesting update. So, I've been working on getting NSC800 AKA Z80 processor to work in the M100 such that it can be used in CP/M as an alternative processor. Great news is that I now have a solution for actually running the M100 using the NSC800! Not that it really matters; there are
