    I am looking for a BIOS for CP/M 2.2 that runs on a Cromemco
System 3 and supports all of the nifty features of the 16FDC. 
Specifically Double Density and Double sidedness. Note, when I bought
the system used it came with CP/M and the SIG/M Bios that originally ran
on the 4FDC but was later updated to the 16FDC *without* adding 
DD/DS capability. I am willing to pay for it. There are limits however,
as I found when a guy at a nearby Byte Shop offered to sell me a 
Bios for $300. Lets be serious, CP/M is only $150 *list*. Of course I 
would love to find someone who has written one offer it for a nominal
fee, and if they haven't I guess I will write it myself.

P.S. A call to Cromemco got me a canned speech on the virtues of CDOS
     and a sort of snort when I insisted on CP/M compatibility.
