It might help to know what kind of I/O you're using. My system is a Z80b-6MHz (Mostly CompuPro stuff) CPU-Z board,with 3 RAM17 boards (64k that supports the extended 24bit addressing for 192k system ram) , c CompuPro SMB-2 board for boot and some I/O, Fulcrum Tech.'s VIO-X1 video board connected to a Samsung Amber Digital monitor, a ComputerWatch RTC, Two GodBout DISK1 boards (running 2 MPE 1.2mb 8" drives and 4 360k DDDS 5.25" drives respectivly) a DISK2 board connected to a Segate 80mb harddrive (some hack, huh? I'm proud of it!) SSM's IO4 and IO5 boards for lotsa RS232 and Parallel (been working on making this old TRS80 into a parallel terminal(ish) thing since these parallel ports are all Bi-Directional. would be cool) A Tarbell 8" controller that is hooked up to one (wouldn't want more) 256k 8" floppy (only thing its used for is formatting and transfering data to/from the pdp11/34's rx01 drive.. (damn DEC. can't even make their drives able to format a floppy. thanks a lot.) and tto top it off, Jade's "Bus Probe" and a homebuilt Hex display for address/IO... oh, its also using an IBM clone 101 key keyboard (Better than that old IMSAI IKB-1 anyday!) I'm quite proud of my box, as ya can tell.. anyways, coupla questions... (oh, if you've got a standard Z80SIO, i've got a great home-hacked comm program.. (well, I'm not responsible for writing it.. My cohort "Dent" is .. full featured and its under 3 K. Great for ROMing.. (It even has SCROLL BACK!! heh. i'll have him post the source.) anyways, coupla questions. I have another S100 machine that is sitting in my garage waiting to be reassembled. there are quite a few Z80a CPU boards out there. (As in 4 of them. and one 8080 board) i was wondering if anyone knew of anyone else | has info on how to hook up more than one processor to a S100 bus... I'd really enjoy having a multiprocessor Z80 machine lying around, and i could apply the same trick to Leviathan (the big Uzi / CP/M machine described above).. would be a righteous hack. Thanx in advance, if theres anyone to thank. Techs / cs2591aq@carina.unm.edu aNk1e ByT0rz k1Ub common account Insert disclaimer of your choice here. This Disclaimer Space Intentionally Left Blank..
