Subject: Re: other people running on G&G systems...
Herb: I'm not currently using a G&G system, but am thinking of upgrading
my S-100 system, which is now basically SD SYSTEMS boards in a
new version of the IMSAI box. Thinking this mostly because I want
compatibility with my existing software while gaining another
world (16/32?? bit). MP/M 8-16 looks really good to me, but the
reason I haven't made the move yet is that I don't know if it'll
be around and supported. Unix looks, for whatever set of reasons,
like it'll be the OS of choice for >8-bit systems.
Extrapolating: I'd like to see on the S-100 some set of boards
(Compupro??) and software which takes the idea further. Put
CP/M, CP/M 86, DRI/VMS, Unix, etc compatibility in a system with
smart software. Problems exist, but I see great potential for
somebody willing to play around.
Anyway, the point is I'd like to learn what you've got on Compupro
systems, plans, and impressions/experiences.
