-
- We did sell a generic CP/M-86 Forth and a generic MS-DOS Forth at
- one time that would run on the DEC Rainbow, but gave up on it due
- to lack of demand.
-
- The Forths we currently sell would not run on the DEC Rainbow
- without quite a bit of tinkering. We do have a "generic" video
- driver that is dependent only the BIOS as an option in our Forth
- systems, but the DEC Rainbow was not even compatible with the IBM
- PC at the BIOS level.
-
- The person inquiring about this would be best off to get one of
- the older generic Laxen & Perry F83 systems for CP/M-86 or MS-DOS
- and working from there.
