Subject: Re: S-100 IBM PC graphic boards

Thanks for the reply... any word on release dates for either the graphics board
or CCPM with PCMODE? Since I have heard that the Compupro version will be
little different from DRI's OEM release, there should be little holdup on
its release (unless of course the DRI release is buggy, and that would
not be all that amazing, would it?)
For your information, Gifford will be releasing their own version of CCPM 8-16
in the not too distant future; it will be an upgrade from their MP/M 8-16
and will probably look pretty similar at the user interface level. They
have been making lots of happy sounds about their implementation of
DR's SoftNet (Arcnet) and have approximately 15 Compupro and IBM systems
tied together. I may finally have a good enough reason to purchase
an IBM PC!
