Well, I know that most of P*P's stuff like DosDisk, etc. needs the Turbo ROM
Which I don't have, of course, so I would have assumed that BM has contacts
with the TROM at least.  He could get hold of the rights if he wanted to.
Anyways, what is in that ROM as compared to others (like my PROMAX 884, by uC)
Does the Code come with the Turbo ROM?  (Some how doubt it, as usual)  The uC
ROM didn't come with code.  How much was the Turbo ROM?

Also, on a tangent here, and related to the dead networks thread. . .
I recall that there was a Kaypro network out there some time ago, right??

What happened to it?????
