Followup to earlier posting (the latest Micro Cornucopia arrived the day
after):
The following firms are advertising CP/M emulators for use on
PC's running with the NEC V-20 chip substituted for the i8088. I have
no vested interest in any of them. An earlier issue of Micro C reviewed
some of these, and thought well of UniDOS with UniForm.
CP/Mulator: Source Information, POB 2974, Warminster PA 18974 215-441-8178
$69. software only, $99. with V-20
UniDOS: Emerald Microware, POB 6118, Aloha OR 97007 503-642-1860
(they also offer a program UniForm for conversion between various
soft-sector 5.25" formats of CP/M and MS-DOS). $65. each, $140 for
both plus V-20 chip
RP/M2: Micro Methods Inc, 118 SW First St Box G, Warrenton OR 97146
503-861-1765 $129. including V-20 chip. Ad makes mention of utilities
for diskette format conversion and modem transfer from CP/M systems.
RUN/CPM: SBC Mart, POB 1296, Ridgecrest CA 93555 619-375-5744 $79. software
V-20 is $24. separately. Ad says that package includes disk conversion
utility.
For those offering software only, Microprocessors Unltd in OK 918-267-4961
was advertising the 8 MHz V-20 for $14.
