I share your sentiments about those >clones being a waste of silicon; I know because I _OWN_ one! And ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^ >I didn't have to pay a thing for it! Greetings. So do I! But I will strongly disagree with the first statement! With a 486 running at 25 MHz I can use an emulator for a Z80 and run most (if not all) of my Kaypro stuff. Doesn't mean I don't use the K10, either. Even though my Kaypro 10 is far from a "portable" it's much better at it than the 50+ lb 486 :-) Besides, show me a z80-based machine than can raytrace a 640X486X256 complex scene in under 30 minutes :-) Take care. P.S. QNOTD (Qute note of the day) Did you know that Norton Utilities (for the IBM PC) actually has the capability to create a CP/M partition on a hard drive....
