- Meeting Notes
- By Gary Stagliano
- Secretary Ex Officio
-
- August 1992
-
- Brought in For our Horror by Stephen Griswold and Lee Bradley:
-
- A CompuPro System 8/16 Multiuser system with formatted 37MB drive but the
- system tracks etc were formatted. It consists of a 286 running at 8Mhz,
- CP/M-86 with 3MB of memory. The original cost was $12,000 when released. It
- has a S100 Bus with 1MB static (Can the YASBEC use this?) RAM.
- Unfortunately, the hard drive was reformatted, making the system of little
- value. The monitor failed to work during the demonstration. Perhaps the
- lighting had something to do with this?
-
- Secretary/Treas Report:
- $18.00 for newsletters. $632.00 remaining
-
- MYZ80, by Simeon Cran:
-
- MYZ80 is a Z80/64180 emulator package. It emulates Z80 and CP/M 2.2 and
- CP/M PLUS for AT class and better IBM compatibles. MYZ80 provides an
- interface (the MYZ80 API) to the host computer which allows real Z80 BDOS's
- to run in the MYZ80 environment. This interface provides disk and character
- I/O as well as two banks of 64k RAM (with common area) and a large RAM
- disk. These unique features allow MYZ80 to run 'real' CP/M 2.2, CP/M 3.0,
- Z-System and ZPM3.
-
- Swap Meet:
-
- A CCP/M-sponsored swap meet was proposed by Gary J. Stagliano. It was
- suggested that we have one in conjunction with a Z-Fest. It was also
- suggested that we wait and go to Trenton in April.
-
- Nominating committee: Al Hathway, Tom Manion, Gary J. Stagliano
-

-

-
- For Sale or Trade:
-
- Xerox 860 Available (Desktop Publishing system?) floor model tower, wide
- carriage daisy wheel printer. Call: 393-3470 in Woodbridge, Ct. 8/11/92
- huge docs. Works. Will swap for ms-dos hardware.
-
- General Discussion:
-
- There was a general discussion on the state of the club, computing and
- pizza. The consensus was that CCP/M is a computing club first. While we
- emphasize CP/M and Z-System, we are also interested in other computers and
- hardware. We are Hackers in the true (good) sense of the word. The club
- will continue as long as there is interest in computing, hardware, firmware
- and software. The advent of advanced CP/M simulators for IBM and other
- computers will mean that CP/M will survive well beyond the demise of the
- last Kaypro.
-
- Demo of the Month:
-
- Steve Dresser demonstrated the Language Master 6000 SE, proving that
- Smaller is Better! It has a talking dictionary, a thesaurus and
- definitions. It runs on a V20 at a moderate speed. At a $500.00 price for
- this special edition, it seems to have a lot of power but the speech
- synthesis is not all that clear.
-
- Attendance:
-
- Al Hathway, Tom Veile, Tom Mannion, Gary J. Stagliano, Lee Bradley, Steve
- Dresser, Linda Bradley, Stephen Griswold.
