It was definitely for CP/M, for the Australian Microbee, but I have since lost the CD and the floppies. And the most amusing thing about the Microbee (yeah, getting OT here) was that serial comms was done by bit-banging on a parallel port... 9600 half-duplex, or 2400 full-duplex. I tried to bring up KA9Q with a view to getting SLIP working, but no. -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer."
