In fact, it wouldn't be an emulation at all but could be a "native" operating system. However, the point of emulating CP/M-80 was to allow people who had CP/M machines to migrate to the Atari without discarding all of their CP/M-80 software. In fact, the emulator is nearly as fast as my 2.5 MHz Z80 machine and screen and disk I/O is much faster. Transferring the software is my only holdup to getting rid of the real CP/M machine. As an aside, I worked with Andy Mickel here at Apollo for a couple of years -- I can see him saying that :-) Gary Zaidenweber (508)256-6600 x4360 | You're only young Apollo Systems Division, Hewlett Packard Company | once, but if you UUCP: {umix|decvax|mit-eddie}!apollo!gaz | do it right, ARPA: gaz@apollo.HP.COM FAX:(508)250-4943 | once is enough!
