I have prepared a new blog with wordpress at https://vintagecomputing.info !!!

Thank you.

Indeed I didn't think about it yet. But it is not too difficult.
Getting an image from Asimov's site at ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/
Reading all infos at http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/
Transferring the image back to a real Apple ][.
Have fun.

Have to do it with "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
Grab it at ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/games/adventure/The%20Hitchhikers%20Guide%20to%20the%20Galaxy.dsk
If the game is too difficult (you have to find the right words also), take a look into ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/games/adventure/HitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy.txt
(Caution: Spoiler!)

Had time to search for several topics, and suddenly I found a hint about a not so well known CP/M 2.2 portable computer (less famous):

A Televideo TPC-I, not really portable (with a similar weight as the Osborne 1) but still an "all-in-one" CP/M machine.


More infos at http://home.total.net/~hrothgar/museum/TPC1/index.html

I have to collect more data about it, because there was surprisingly also a GSX-80 implementation available for this computer (this is rare).

Also, I thought about, to add info pages not only for the Televideo above, but also for the Epson PX-8 (because it was also a CP/M portable).

The pages about the Z-80 Video Pak from "Data 20 Corporation" for the C64 was also very interesting, because I collected many infos about CP/M 2.2 for the C64 already, but missed this "pearl" (but the cartridge seems to be very rare).

Still dreaming of a Otrona Attache portable CP/M computer, it's very handy (for 1982) and despite of this is still a full featured machine.
This picture shows another model with different floppy disk drives compared to the one I already have shown at http://www.z80.eu/otrona.html ...
I have seen a few in Ebay shops in the US, but they are really expensive (up to $ 400) and this is not what I looked for unfortunately.
But still, it's amazing to see such one and dream ...

It happens... I talked about it a few blog entries before already....

Miguel's Amstrad software and compiler pages seems to be lost (I mirrored his MESCC Small C variant now) ...

http://www.s100-manuals.com

Randy McLaughlin's S-100 Manuals Site is gone also

May be somebody mirrored Randy's pages already, but I didn't found any mirror yet.

Many of you already know that there is a gold mine for old (often scanned) documents at www.bitsavers.org , users and service manuals and other technical documents as well.
If not, try it (see reated link below), it's amazing what can be found there !!!
