Subject: MP/M-86 and CP/M-86
I received my new Heathkit catalog yesterday and was surprised to see
the rediculously low prices for these products. CP/M-86 is selling for
$99.00 (was $250.00) and MPM-86 for $99.00 (was $649.00!!).
Not being familiar with the capabilities, limitations and availability
of applications software for these products, I wondered if these were
"dead" operating systems. I use mainly CP/M-85 and MS-DOS.
Can someone convince me that:
A. These prices are the bargain of the century!!
or
B. They aren't worth the shipping cost.
Thanx for your help.
