- Hi All...
-
- Tonight I finally rolled up my sleaves and looked through
- the 8" disks I got with my CCS S-100 CP/M system. I found copies
- of BIOS code that the previous owner had modified to fix some bugs
- in the CCS BIOS. Anyway, I was thinking ... Gee, it sure would be
- nice to have a hard drive with my system (especially since I am
- thinking about getting ZCPR running).
-
- Does anyone know where I can get a hard drive controller
- for the S-100 bus? Do they take some kind of industry standard
- HD? (I heard MFM...).
-
- On a side note, has anyone configured ZCPR with a CCS
- floppy card and CPU? I think there are some BIOS mods needed,
- and would sure appreciate someones experience.
-
- Also, I have a couple of H-19 terminals that are taking
- up space. How much could I expect to get for these (they both work
- great).
-
- Thanks for your patience. Some of you "old time" CP/M-ers
- are probably chuckling, remembering back when you first modified your
- BIOS. It's funny - at work we work on state-of-the art DSP processors
- on the latest DEC Vaxes--- yet there is some simple attraction to
- the S-100 bus and CP/M. Probably has to do with the fact that I
- am impressed what can be done in less than 64K...
-
- Any conversation would be helpful...
- Steven
