Well, not *quite*...  There is a version 3.x MTR-100 monitor which includes
handling of a couple of I(nferior) B(ut) M(arketable)'s preposterous interrupts,
but not all by any means.  This monitor (sometimes also known as 'boot-ROM')
when used in combination with ZPC, provides a high level of compatibility.
 But nothing is 100%.

You can get it from Paul F. Herman, Inc. (he has an 800 number that '800-
directory assistance can provide you with).  He may also sell the companion
ZPC...  Price for the MTR-100 is about $60.
