Now that i've had time to wade through the archive files, nearly everything i asked was answered there. My apologies for taking up net space under those circumstances; and my great thanks for the info provided by Robert Heller, James Jones, Bob Larson and Jim Omura. Of course, as is too often the case, the answers generate more questions: (1) It appears that in a period of only 3 months, Bob Larson started and then terminated a PD library of OS/9-68k. I never saw a message of anyone else offering to pick it up. Is there a(n) (ARPA.)net accessible directory of same? [no, my site won't allow any "anonymous" accessible space.] (2) Does anyone know if the back issues of DTACK GROUNDED can still be purchased? at the same address listed in 1985? (3) I've seen the ad for Sculptor. It is priced right in there with dbase III+, is it anywhere near as good? (4) I noticed a February 4 reference by James Jones to the very system that got my attention on the 68K. Is there anyone out there that has actually seen/used one of these system boards described in Radio Electronics (& "mc" magazine?) (5) I vaguely remember seeing a 68K board offered, about a year ago, in a DEC specific publication, that ran on the Q22 bus. Is anyone familiar with this? [I've looked for recent ads - no luck. (6) I found references to the following, who (have) supplied S-100 compatible CPU boards: Compupro/Viasyn, Cromemco, Digicomp, and Ultrascience. Indication was, compupro had dropped support of its 68K hardware. Can anyone tell me if any of these are still active suppliers (and how to contact them)?
