- The folks that make Uniform, MicroSolutions, make a CP/M emulator that runs
- from the DOS file structure. They also have an 8MHz CP/M coprocessor that
- the emulation software knows how to fire up; so you can have CP/M software
- run on a fast Z80 instead of interpreted slowly by a 386.
-
- An interesting feature of MicroSolutions' emulator is that you can tell it
- that anything ending with a specific extension (I use .CPM) is a CP/M
- executable and it will automatically detect it from the command line and
- fire it over to the coprocessor. In other words, you can type ZSID at the
- DOS command line and get ZSID running.
