Have any of you hackers out there figured out how to access CPM/68K without
buying the $300 "developers' kit"?  According to COMPUTE! Magazine, the
GEM desktop is "really" built on top of CPM and can be "peeled away" if you
know how.  It seems that getting rid of GEM should cost negative, not positive
dollars!  Has anybody figured out how to do this?

(I dunno why I care - I haven't bought my ST yet!!!)
