	"How many times does it need to be said? If you'll give up running
	OS's that are resource hogs (Any post-v6 unix), you can get a *lot*
	of power for an small price.

Resource hog?? I'm running CPM-80! I have no need to run U...X.
I get enough of that at work.

	"For instance: take any cheap z80 CP/M system (<$1000), add the HSC
	6MHz 68K system (~$1000) with OS/9 (~$500), ....."

The problem here is that I can't find much information on either
68K machines (like the HSC) or OS/9. I would lean toward a Compupro
68k card (or equiv.) to expand my (> $1k) Z80 system, however, I will look
into the HSC units. (Bingo cards have been sent.) "Micro Cornucopia" reviewed
an HSC unit some time ago. I guess I'll order the back issue.

The problem I've run into is that the whole world (the magazine world
anyway) seems to have focused on either the IBM and its clones or the
Mac. Nearly every language I'd like to use (even SNOBOL) is available
for the 8088 family. Someone suggested I look at "68 Micro". I can't even
find it in town! Maybe someone could post their address.
