Subject: cp/m - dos conversion

For quite a while, I have struggled with the problem of converting
all my old CP/M stuff to my dos computer, as many of you have (evident
by the number of messages on the subject!). I have finally succeeded.
While there are many programs out there that simulate the cp/m-os
on dos, they either lacked the ability to directly read/write a
cp/m formatted disk, or you were forced to use the old modem
technique to get the files into your dos. No More! I have discovered
a company called "Intersecting Concepts", @ 30851 Agoura Rd,
Suite 200, Agoura Hills, Ca 91301 ph:818-879-0086. They have
produced a product called "Media Master" which runs flawlessly
on my IBM-PC AT 286 w/dos v.5 that logs in my a:floppy drive
as a Morrow MD-2 (SSDD) (which was one of my old cp/m machines).
It will also log in many other 5-1/4" cp/m disk formats, up to
I think close to 70 of 'em! You can then directly read/write the
cp/m floppy disk, copying all of the files if you wish onto your
dos machine's harddrive. Then, Media Master has a cp/m-os emulator,
called "ZP/EM" which runs the cp/m software! Of course, the program
"myz80" does this well too, but Media Master is one program that
does everything in one package, negating the need to run 2 or
more pieces of software just to run cp/m on dos. BTW, all of the
standard disclaimers apply re:my working for them or getting
financial consideration from the (I don't!). I just finally found
something that works after more than 2 years of searching. Man,
it's just like sitting at the console of my old Morrow! Absolutely
seamless, I tell ya! Hope this helps all of you looking for a
solution. BTW, the price? Just about $70 bucks, ups'ed to your
door!
