didn't the bubble memory boards allow for contiguous memory? i recall reading that you could write and run a program beyond 32k using their booster pak like device. > Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2015 21:39:05 -0500 > From: hira...@hotmail.com > To: m100@lists.bitchin100.com > Subject: [M100] Accelerators >

[M100] Accelerators

2015-06-01 Thread Hiraghm
I was just watching a review video of the old Apple IIGS, where he talked about getting a processor accelerator. I Remember the accelerators for the Amiga, even one for the C64. I wish there were a "turbo" board one could drop in on an M100, replacing the 80c85 with an 8088 (or low-power equiv

Personally I find the Model 100 fast enough for even fast typing. The CP/M machine was very slow. I wonder if the problem was CP/M. Frederick Whitaker Sent from my iPhone On Jun 1, 2015, at 2:25 PM, Fred Whitaker wrote: > The CP/M machine that I used as an RPFT was 8085 based. > I have seen m

The CP/M machine that I used as an RPFT was 8085 based. I have seen more versions for the 8085 than for the 8080. Frederick Whitaker Sent from my iPhone On Jun 1, 2015, at 11:50 AM, "John R. Hogerhuis" wrote: > > > On Monday, June 1, 2015, Joe Grubbs wrote: >> If it doesn't, we need a cleve

A cousin of these devices, the NEC PC-8500 is a pseudo-CP/M computer. It has WordStar-To-Go built-in and it can be made into a full-fledged CP/M computer by adding the 32KB memory expansion cartridge and the floppy disk drive/drive interface. Just an FYI. On Mon, Jun 1, 2015 at 9:17 AM, Joe Grub

Are you sure it's not CPM for the TRS-80 model 1? I had a copy of that but it required a switch on the model 1 that swapped out the ROM with a block of memory by fiddling with the address lines. This gave CPM the contiguous block of RAM starting at address that it needed to run. I had th

What is challenging for the M100 is the dependence on disk, and the requirement that it act like a standard FDC. TPDD1 can do this, but not TPDD2. M100 on it's own would struggle also because it has only 32kB of RAM. The lower 32kB would be unusable, save for some routines. We've been discussin

If it doesn't, we need a clever developer who is very intimate with the Model 100/200 architecture and the 8085 to port it :) Someone in the Color Computer community ported CP/M to run under OS-9 on the 6809. If that can be done, it seems that getting it to run on an 8085 would be plausible.
