John (and other 68K fans),
I've located a bunch of old CP/M-68K stuff recently, including CP/M-68K v 1.3,
FORTH and 68K tiny BASIC. Is there a central listing of the software you already
have? Almost everything is on 8" disk which I should be able to read but I don't
have a system set up currently.
Hopefully, moving to the S100 68K board should be pretty easy from here.
Great work!
Jack
