One snag -- if you download CP/M and the utilities, there is no way to get the utilities into the CP/M format. The utility to transfer files from TOS disk format to CP/M disk format happens to be written under CP/M. If any of our European friends know of a solution to this (it is rumored that CP/M is being passed around on BBSs over there) please let me know right away! > 2) I have also heard tell of a MS-DOS software based emulator which > will be available shortly at around 100-150$.

The PC emulator will be a bit more costly than described and will function a whole lot better. It will be approximately the same speed as a PC. It should pass the FS test. -- --->Neil @ Atari ...{hoptoad, lll-lcc, pyramid, imagen, sun}!atari!neil BIX: neilharris CIS: 70007,1135 Delphi: NEILHARRIS GENIE: nharris WELL: neil Atari Corp.
