I put a question about cp/m 68k in topic 108, and nobody seems to be able to help me. So I ask again, but more open: Does anybody know somebody who knows somebody who I can ask where to find somebody who has written a BIOS for the cp/m 68k on an Atari? In the beginning Digital Research Inc started to implement cp/m 68k as the atari OS. As far as I know this was given up because of very slow disk I/O. Then Jack T. decided to have his own OS ---> TOS. Isn't it a nice thing: TOS was developped under cp/m 68k! The atari development package contains the assembler and linker and several other utilities originally designed for operation under cp/m 68k now running under TOS. Yes, I know... cp/m is an oldie, even the 68k version and has an oldfashioned commandline interpreter without any fancy windowing but... there is a build-yourself computer (mc68k) from a german computer journal whith cp/m 68k in ROM. First of all it's a very nice system in the open style as were the old apples with a lot of slots and alot of good software! And (b) there exists from a german harwarehouse (Rhotron) a bussystem for the atari that is almost identical to the mc68-bus (costs around 300 German Marks) and there are very nice cards from hardwareclock over memory expansionboards (up to the full 16Mbytes) to standard harddisk controllers.

Hi Fred, that's really great! Schick mir doch eine Diskette (ein oder zweiseitig) per internal Post an MARKUS RUGGIERO @ SWAS EBO (Bern) und Du bekommst von mir umgehend eine leere zur�ck. Do you have a BIOS listing/documentation? If you're interested I can help you with software on cp/m. I have access to alot of that stuff! Thanks ---markus--- |
