If you have a Northstar Advantage, it already emulates a terminal (codes are Beehive/Soroc type, I have them somewhere -- give me a call). >Also, what the hell is the 8/16 Northstar? Is it an IBM compatible or does >just run a 16 bit CPM? > In the early days of 8086, Northstar experimented with it by creating 8088 boards for the Advantage (and I think for the Horizon, but don't quote me on it). The Advantage board would run generic MS-DOS, but was not PC compatible. I still own an Advantage, and have the Technical Reference manual for it. I never owned one of the 8/16 boards. If you have a serious need, give me a call and I'll try to help. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | Keith McQueen, Wicat Systems Inc. , (801)224-6605 | My opinions are | | N7HMF @ NV7V (84058), 147.34+, 449.675- | all mine... | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
