RomWBW on S-100 Project status...

[Douglas W Goodall <douglas...@mac.com>]

Friends,

There is a project underway to port Wayne's RomWBW CP/M implementation 
to the S-100
using John Monahan's S-100 boards. I am leading the software effort and 
Tom Lafleur is
leading the hardware effort. Leonard Young is on-board as another 
knowledgeable set of
eyes and brain pan to help the project stay on track. This port of 
RomWBW has Wayne's
blessing.

The reason I am contacting you is to let you know that there will be an 
operating system
available in the near future that has the same look and feel as the 
RomWBW you are used
to on N8VEM platforms such as Zeta, SBC-v2, and N8.

I would like builders that are using or intending to use S-100 with 
John's boards to let
me know who they are so I can gather information about their 
configurations and desired
support from the new version.

My intention is to begin with CP/M-80 v2.2, and then move on to CP/M-80 
Plus, and perhaps
MP/M-80 in time. I am open to other thoughts about this.

The more information I have about the builder's needs and wishes, the 
closer I can come
to fulfilling them. I only know about half a dozen people using S-100 
right now, and I know
there must be many more, and I believe my sample size isn't large enough 
to represent the
views of the N8VEM/S100COMPUTERS.COM Community.

You may respond on-list or off-list.

Respectfully,

Douglas Goodall
