Subject: Get a Real emulator!

        For all those who have used 22nice, or Z80mu5.  These are nive
CP/M emulators, except they have one major flaw.  No Zsystem support.
I have come across a z80 emulator called ZSIM12.ZIP on Simtel20.  This
is a simple z80 emulator, but it can BOOT an osborne disc.  If you have
Zsystem on an osborne DSDD or SSDD it will boot the system and put you
into Zsystem (or ZCPR3).  I have heard this is truly a 100% CP/M compatible
solution.  You don't have access to your PC's hard drive, but you do get
a emulated ramdisk set up as drive B: of about 455K.  In the the Ramdisk
file that the system boots, are a host of the most used utilities in cpm, such
as VDE , Small-c compiler, a macro assembler, linker, debugger.  And some
docs.  And if you want to roll your own drive parameter to support say KayproII
or Royal Alphatronic, then it will let you very easily.

So take a look in the Simtel archives in the MSDOS directory
PD1:<msdos.emulators> for the file ZSIM12.ZIP.
Take care.
