- Hi,
- Is anyone familiar with Micro 5 Turbo system ? Does the company
- still exist today ? Since I am not very CP/M literate, maybe some of
- you CP/M gurus can help me out.
- One of my friends' company has a Micro 5 System running an acounting
- program (written in MBASIC). The system is a multi-user system and
- has 24 serial ports on the back. Since the system is very old, he
- is afraid the system may die someday and lose all of his data.
- He would like to replace the machine with a standard 386 compatiable PC
- The Questions that I have are:
-
- 1) Can I replace the MP/M with another multi-user operating system
- such as DR. DOS mult-user version or DesQview running on top of
- regular DOS ?
- 2) Will the accounting program run on DOS ? (I do have the
- source code if I need to make minor modification to the program.)
-
- Thank you very much.
- /Henry
