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).
