I'll know more after teh show.  Apparently they got their ads
out too early.  Pity.  I do not have any of that stuff running
either...

the os for the 68000 board is written in forth and that exists.

    Re:   CPM-68

    Terrific!  I called Priority 1 this morning to ask when CPM-68
    would be available for Godbout/CompuPro systems and the answer
    was, "six months from now."  So I guess I can play tiddly-winks
    with the 68K board until then.

    But seriously, given a cross-assembler (which I'd either write 
    or purchase), how easy or difficult wo it be for someone who
    has a lot of CBIOS experience with CPM-80 and CPM-86 to write
    a BIOS and install CPM-68 using a CPM-80 or CPM86 system as the
    development machine?  I'm particularly interested in comments 
    from those who have actually done the job (mknox@utexas-11 et al).

    Also, does anyone know the chance of getting one of these so-called
    beta versions that everyone saw running on CompuPro stuff at CPM-83?

                               Disgusted at CompuPro,
