This note is for Adam Feigin: feigin@linc.cis.upenn.edu

I have been trying to send this note to you directly but my computer
does not seem to like the way I specified the address.

Thank you vor your information on the Force CPU-2 Board. Maybe I can also
give you some news.

  I have CP/M 68K running on my board with a BIOS which I have written in C.
It does Disk caching (From an Article in BYTE), it has a RAM Disk and uses
interrupt driven serial i/o. If you are interested, i can send you the source.
I also have a Modula-2 Compiler, that is sold by a german company. It is not
very expensive, but unfortunately it has a lot of bugs.

  As for OS9/68K, I have been looking into that too. I also found the port
pack too expensive. There is maybe a port of OS9 for the CPU-2 that is
comercially available : PLESSEY builds a board that is identical to the CPU-2,
it is called PME 68-2. The Plessey representative here in Switzerland told me
that they have an OS9 port for that cpu. I don't know how much it would cost
and it is not in their catalog yet.

I hope, that this is of help to you.

Hein
