Borne) Newsgroups: comp.sys.zenith.z100 Subject: Outdated ZDOS and CP/M Keywords: Zenith Z-100 Operating Systems Message-ID: <1796@nemesis.stsci.edu> Date: 19 Sep 90 14:02:10 GMT Organization: Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore, MD 21218 Lines: 24 I have been using the very ancient versions of ZDOS and CP/M that came with my Z-100 back in 1983. Since I have been running very simple applications at home, this has not been a problem. Now that I am trying to expand the functionality of the machine, I find that most of the disks that I borrow from friends are not even compatible with the disk file structure under the old operating systems (320K vs. 360K is part of the problem I think). I understand that there are disk utilities that can deal with the 320-360 problem, but I also need simply to update the old DOS. Could someone please bring me up-to-date by sending me either some relevant information or the name and address of an appropriate distributor or both? Thanks for your help. +------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ | Kirk D.
