Subject: S-100 IBM PC graphic boards

1. The CompuPro S-100 PC video board was designed by Tony
Pietsch, and a wire-wrap was demonstrated at COMDEX.  Faster'n
hell, color and high-res on same board, steady, said to be 100%
PC compatible down to Flight Simulat or although I have NOT seen
FS run on it.

2. I hAve had telephone conversations with Lomas, who promised
to send me some literature and a letter; the idea is to get some
of ths stuff out here to Chaos Manor.  The day after I talked to
him, his secretary called to ask my address again.
       That was at least thre weeks ago (I'd have to look in
the log to be sure exact date) and since then I have heard
NOTHING.  The editors at BYTE asked me to talk to this guy, and
I certainly would be glad to, but so far the results have not
benn encouaraging. I dunno if (1) they got mad at me, (2) the
Post Awful lost their stuff, (3) their shipping dept never sent
whatever it was, (4) they don't have anytyhing to ship, (5) none
of the above.
       Anyone who is in contact with Lomas might tell them I
still have heard nothing.

3. The CompuPro board was running under Concurrent CP/M with the
PC DOS emulator (not emulator, exaclty) module.  Worked fine,
and could do other jobs.
