Jerry,
As far as I know, Compupro has pasted together a CP/M-80 BIOS that
will work with DRI assemblers which is probably the one you are referring
to.  However, they haven't done so yet for CP/M-86 (to my knowledge).
Following is a quote from Compupro's Techcal manual for CP/M-86:

                 REASSEMBLING THE CP/M 86 SYSTEM

       "To reassemble the CP/M 86 system (which consists of the loader
and the CPM.SYS file, you will need the following:

       1.  Obviously you will need a working system.
       2.  A copy of ACT-86 from Sorcim.(*)
       3.  A working version of CP/M 80 with utilities.

               .
               .
               .



(*) ACT-86 can be obtained for $175 from          (address withheld
                                                   due to commercial
                                                     restrictions of
                                                      ARPA-land)

   or probably from your local computer dealer."
Well, that is some CHUTZPAH, in my humble opinion.
