Gary Evans requested a working copy of Z-System for a BigBoard II.  The
disk operating system part of Z-System (ZRDOS) is proprietary and must be
paid for.  I suggest that anyone who wants to get Z-System running on his
CP/M-2.2 computer purchase Z-COM from Echelon.  Z-COM will install itself on
your computer automatically in a few minutes, and it costs very little more
than ZRDOS alone.  You can buy the stripped down version (without all the
utilities, which you can get from SIMTEL20 or from any of the dozens of
Z-Node remote access systems around the country) for $70.  The memory
penalty of using Z-COM rather than a manually installed version is only
512 bytes.  Once you have Z-COM running, you are not stuck with the standard
version; you can modify it.  I will be preparing a file describing some of
the details on how to do that.  Here is the info on Echelon:
 
                Echelon, Inc.
                885 N. San Antonio Road
                Los Altos, CA 94022
                415-948-3820 (voice)
                415-489-9005 (modem)
 
My wife is a dealer for Echelon, but I have no financial interest in any
sales Echelon makes directly.  I just think that Z-COM is a very fine
product.  For sales, please contact them directly.  If you have technical
questions, contact either them or me.
