We are running a siemens plc system that uses CPM. The Siemens programer went bust a few years back and we had got a 286 with 1Fdd and 1 Hdd and loaded CPM o/s on this.

I do not have details on hand but this 286PC is connected to the PLC through a serial cable to do program loading. -- Sudev Barar Learning Linux ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
