Secretary's Report: The minutes of the last meeting were accepted as
published.
Treasurer's Report: We now have $795.93 in the treasury with all the
previous bills paid including the Treasurer's dues ...
Trenton Computer Fest: A number of us attended along with the usual
collection of Z-system gurus. The Hartford area is known as a hotbed of
CP/M activity. Small substitute for a losing hockey team. Howard Goldstien
was the recipient of the floating CP/M award. Banked bios for the newer
CP/M (Ampro, YASBEC etc.) computers has been released (six systems in all).
The bios resides in the second bank, increasing the TPA. It is similar to
CP/M plus and compatable in many ways but is still based on CP/M 2.2. The
weather was fantastic. The Party was good. Jay beat Lee in the Pizza eating
contest. Prices for Z-system products have been reduced to about $20.00
each in Kaypro and MS-DOS format only. Check out the next TCJ!
Stephen Griswold brought a Xerox 820 II computer with dual 8" disk drives
to the meeting along with the entire SIG/M collection on 8" flippies.
CD ROMs with CP/M software: Streaming Tape Back-up unit was provided to Lee
to provide the software: Bob Dean, Jay Sage, Bruce Morgen will participate.
The Royal Oaks collection should be included. Simtel 20 computer has much
of its software on CD-ROMs. Z-SUS should also be included.
MYZ80: Tom Mannion received the latest version of MyZ80 (1.11) with a very
nice letter. As a registered user you are entitled to one free upgrade. Tom
is amazed that he received any upgrades.
MyZ80 handles virtual disk files of up to 8 MB each. How do give those
virtual disks to others? After you build the file (eg. A.DSK) (up to 5
megs) one way is to Zip the file with PKZip 2.04G then use SLICE to break
the files into smaller parts. SLICE makes a SPLICE program that allows you
to reconstruct the file. Don't use the DOS utility BACKUP because the
versions of BACKUP are not compatable with each other.
CMD Tour: On June 14th, 7:00pm a guided Tour of CMD will be sponsored by
the Capital Region Commodore Computing club. CMD markets SCSI hard drives
for CP/M commodore and IBM/MacIntosh computers. There will be Free grab
bags of software and hardware. More information and directions will be
available at our June meeting. Contact Raymond Cruz on Z-node 12 or call
749-6002 for more information.
If was moved to make Hal Bower (author of z-dos and banked bios) an
honorary member and give him a Kaypro II from the club's inventory for
shipping and handling. Club members are entitled to use the various club
hardware donations upon request subject to approval at the next general
meeting.
Add David McGlown (Z-Letter publisher/editor) to our list of Honorary
members. Honorary members are sent to issues of SIB for the remainder of
their natural lives.
Today is Tom Mannion's birthday. At the Georges Pizza meeting Tom was
presented with a flaming cake recognizing his 42 years on this planet.
Steve Dresser was almost set afire before Tom was able to extinguish the
flames. He must have gotten his wish as all MS-DOS machines ceased
functioning.
