As far as Gifford goes, I don't know what their marketing plans will be
for CCPM-816 to owners of their MP/M-816. I do know that there is
considerable similarity between MP/M and CCPM; for example, Gifford's
SWITCH program that allows operation of 8 bit programs with the 8085/88
board under MP/M-816 works fine under vanilla CCPM 3.1.
Gifford is investing considerable development effort into perfecting
DR's networking and currently have all of their Compupro and IBM PC
hardware connected under networked CCPM. My impression is that they
are rewriting many of their proprietary utilities to take the networking
into account, allowing, for example, mail, real time communications,
and use of system resources across the network.
