Subject: Life, adventure, and 68000 S100's

  Sort of sounds like a Douglas Adams book, doesn't it?  Well, sort of.

  There are a couple of programs which I am sure are available for CP/M, but
haven't seen around anywhere.  Does anybody know of a good version of LIFE?
I'll probably want to adapt it to run on my IMSAI VIO memory-mapped video
board, but that's ok. 

  I don't play computer games much, personally, (a matter of definition,
actually :-) but I have some friends who quite enjoy Adventure.  I understand
that there's an expanded version of the original.  Let's see, how to phrase it
delicately but succinctly: Where? 

  Oh, by the way, I don't have FTP access to anything not connected to our
etherent LAN. So much for Arpanet.

  Has anybody upgraded a Z80 S100 machine to a 68000 and lived to tell about
it?  The idea intrigues me.  I have visions of running a multi-tasking OS like
MINIX or OS9/68K or something.  Suggestions, anyone?  I should be most
interested. 

  I ordered my upgrade to Wordstar 4.0 yesterday. I'm so excited...
