I recently (like, last weekend) purchased a 128D, a magnavox 190= 2 clone, and the newer version of the PowerC compiler. I then picked up a book on 128 specific programming, and downloaded Zed and Desterm. I'm brimming with ideas for things I want to write for the 128 now (whether I'll have time or not, I dunno). It's a shame the 128 was overshadowed by the Amiga. Right now, what I do is write the initial C code in my Borland IDE under Windows (if Zed had syntax highlighting, it'd be perfect), then port it to the 128 via my 1581, clean it up in Zed, and compile it under PowerC, making a 486 the handmaiden of the 128.

This actually belongs in a PC newsgroup, but so happens I have one=20 these-- so you're in luck. Regarding the 3.5" drive. Dunno.. maybe someone else can help you. I'm not even sure this puppy has a keyboard accessible BIOS on it. Regarding the modem... any 8 bit modem will do. I have a 14.4=20 US Robotics on it right now that works just dandy. Also, if yer buddy plans to surf the net from a text based shell account... he has PLENTY of hard drive space.. all he needs is DOS and one of those stinky term programs they make for that God-forsaken operating system. - Bo (Thank God I'm a Commie-boy) =END=
