Some people I know are running an application under Concurrent CPM-86
on an Altos 986. I always thought that CPM was dead (certainly all of
the software vendors do) and hope I can move them into the mainstream.
The question is, what is inside an Altos 986, and can it run Xenix or
whatever Unix Altos provides? If not, is it field upgradable into
something that can?
Send mail unless of general interest, TIA, etc.
