Me, too. I like CP/M-86/80. Sort of like a V-8 without emissions paraphenalia. There is 1 Reply. Read action !

True. Kind of difficult to find materials for it these days, tho. Guess I'll have to write all the stuff I need (oh, sigh, tough luck, Dave). There are 2 Replies. Read action !

Hard to find materials? If you mean public domain, there's gigabytes of stuff! Choose from CP/M-80 (most of it) CP/M-86 (a little) and RB-specific CP/M-86/80 (some here and more from Rainbow News, etc.). Read action !

Well, that's just one more advantage of this "obsolete" hardware: you can actually program it. You don't need to master a Toolbox or graphic environment. One of the reasons I'd hate to live with one of the new machines is that it's so hard to get them to do something simple. There is 1 Reply. Read action !

Actually, I program inside a GUI most of the time. Kind of interesting. I do see your point, however. I enjoy having complete control of the machine. Dave Read action !
