You're running one OS (CP/M) on an emulation subsystem (DOS) running on an emulated OS (Windows 98) running under Linux? Ha! I like it. :-) There used to be a great screenshot on the net somewhere that had something like 7 or 8 stacked OS emulators on it (one of them was Sheepshaver running under Mac OS7 [or 8 or 9?]). I wonder whatever happened on that. BTW, why didn't you just try DOSEMU? > Oh, and Tanner -- 8080/Z80 is strictly 8-bit. Not even 8-bit Small-C will > compile the 16-bit Linux for it.

While never having had to program on the Z-80 myself, I did once help port something from there and had to become fairly familiar with the platform. That was over 17 years ago, though, so I doubt I remember much. :-) Hopefully you noticed that my tongue was firmly in cheek earlier. :-) Of course, there does seem to be interest in having something linux like running on 8 bit processors: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS6984970954.html I wonder how something like that would run on one of the newest 50Mhz Z80s? - http://www.embedded.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=9900504 Cheers, Tanner -- Tanner Lovelace clubjuggler at gmail dot com http://wtl.wayfarer.org/ http://www.freeiPods.com/?r=8127171 (fieldless) In fess two roundels in pale, a billet fesswise and an increscent, all sable. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
