    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
