As I understand it (COMPUTE! Oct. 1985 article) CPM-68K is not "emulated" -- it IS the basic operating system, and the GEM "Desktop" user interface runs on top of it. Why they don't give the owner access to CPM-68K free instead of charging $300 bucks more for "special software and documentation" I don't quite understand if COMPUTE!'s description of the situation is accurate, but I am sure the hacker community will save us all the $300 by providing the necessary information in the public domain. By the way, does anybody know if the K-Mart Special will include disk drive? Mouse? RS-232 and Centronics ports? RGB or composite monitor outputs? I heard that it would include a TV modulator, which makes me think maybe not the normal monitor outputs (although the little 800XL has both composite and RF outputs). -John Sangster jhs at MITRE-Bedford.ARPA
