Anybody have any experience with the Micromate $995 cp/m+ (3.0) system?
It's listed in "What's New" in June, 1983 BYTE, p 487.  Comes with a bunch
of software, one 390k floppy, 128k ram, and lots of ports for hooking on
peripherals.

Looks like it could be a good way to make a terminal intelligent, local
storage, etc, plus all the cp/m advantages, for only $1k.
IF it's reliable, serviceable, etc.

I'd like to hear from anyone with more info, especially personal experience.

Who needs a Micromate for $995?  I have the phone number of
a guy in Portland who will sell you a Morrow MD2 (2 disk drives,
not one, all the software you would ever want) for $1054.
