Subject: Magazine Questions

I have some news and questions about magazines that cover CP/M and S-100.

I picked up what turns out to be the last issue of MicroCornucopia, this 
week.  MicroC has been referred to by several folks here as one of last 
places for articles on, and adverisements, of CP/M and S-100 products.
As with so many other magazines, their CP/M coverage had dwindled to 
nothing.  Oh well.

I looked over my sample copy of Supermicro, which is the magazine that
evolved from the S-100 journal.  I had written here last year that I
thought they weren't worth $6 an issue ($24 a year).  I'm having second 
thoughts, considering that they seem to be the *only* venue remaining 
for hardware discussion.  The issue I received, #2, includes an article
on IEEE-696 (S-100) DMA arbitration circuitry, and another on commercially-
available SCSI controllers (including Compupro and Lomas S-100).  I may 
give these guys another try.  Has anyone seen a more recent issue?  Has 
their publication schedule improved?

I've got a subscription to The Computer Journal, which is the magazine 
that Jay Sage promotes here.  I've only received one issue so far, so 
it's too early to judge.  It looks like it would be most useful to a 
Z-System aficianado.

So, I guess it's time for that age-old question.  Has anyone encountered
any other good magazines?  I'm expecially interested in hardware articles,
like the stuff that Byte *used* to publish.
