Well, I still don't have the Internet back up, but luckily a neighbour has moved their unsecured router and I have a ok connection. Yesterday, was a day off, and I was just messing around on my Commodore's. I wasn't really doing anything important, just trying to create a setup I liked for the 128, when my e-mail alarm went off. I wandered over to the Voodoo, and it was an e-mail from Bil Herd. He had been looking over may post, and noticed a bit of wrong information regarding the CP/M Cartridge. He said to call him some time. So Since I had the time, I tried calling, but there was no answer at the number he gave. I also had e-mailed him back to call me when he had a moment, and then the phone rang, and it was indeed Bil.
Over the next 45 or so minutes, I got a quick education in why the CP/M cartridge didn't work and how he fixed it. Needless to say, I got a quick but cool education on the Z80 processor, and the RAM. I also asked some questions that had been bugging me about the 128, and talked in general about computing today. Needless to say, it was a very good conversation, and I hope to talk with him again.... Unfortunately, with me in Alberta and him in New Jersey, our paths won't likely cross anytime soon.
