Sorry, but you're SOL on that one if you have a Microsoft/Applied Engineering Z80 card or any of its compatibles. I tried to no avail to write interrupt routines, but I STILL lost characters. And this is at 2400+ on an Apple II Plus with a Videx Videoterm! The Apple CP/M system is a great system, but this CANNOT be helped. Please someone proveme wrong here because I want the same thing. As far as the PCT is concerned, it would STILL be too slow because the PCT uses a 10 MHz V20 which makes the Apple a turbo XT. You could run Z80MU, but your effective speed would be around 500kHz to 1MHz, so you'd be better off using a 386SX. And anything that takes advantage of the V20's hardware emulation will let you use 8080/8085 stuff ONLY, which I think is too limited, and what's worse is that I've heard is that the hardware emulation is buggy.
