Subject: CompurPro 8085/8088 BIOS

   The CompuPro CP/M-86 or CP/M-816 comes with a BIOS.  Unfortunately the
BIOS is a huge creature and must be assembled with Sorcim's ACT assembler.
Because all I/O is handled under the 8088 whether you are in 8085 mode
or not, you will have to be fluent in 8088 assembler if you wish to modify
the BIOS.  They even say in their CP/M-86 Tech manual, "Expect no hand
holding from CompuPro, G & G Engineering, or Sorcim."  But if you have
a good knowledge of 8086/8088, it would seem possible without a great
deal of trouble.
