Followup to earlier posting (the latest Micro Cornucopia arrived the day
after):

	The following firms are advertising CP/M emulators for use on
PC's running with the NEC V-20 chip substituted for the i8088.  I have
no vested interest in any of them.  An earlier issue of Micro C reviewed
some of these, and thought well of UniDOS with UniForm.

CP/Mulator: Source Information, POB 2974, Warminster PA 18974 215-441-8178
  $69. software only, $99. with V-20

UniDOS: Emerald Microware, POB 6118, Aloha OR 97007 503-642-1860
  (they also offer a program UniForm for conversion between various
    soft-sector 5.25" formats of CP/M and MS-DOS).  $65. each, $140 for
    both plus V-20 chip

RP/M2: Micro Methods Inc, 118 SW First St Box G, Warrenton OR 97146
  503-861-1765  $129. including V-20 chip.  Ad makes mention of utilities
  for diskette format conversion and modem transfer from CP/M systems.

RUN/CPM: SBC Mart, POB 1296, Ridgecrest CA 93555 619-375-5744  $79. software
  V-20 is $24. separately.  Ad says that package includes disk conversion
  utility.

For those offering software only, Microprocessors Unltd in OK 918-267-4961 
was advertising the 8 MHz V-20 for $14.
