Entry 5th May 2017: Post: 1


Popular Computing Weekly


Silly me. I had to win the auction for a copy of Popular Computing cus I 
read the headline on the cover and I need the full magazine to see what 
is discussed inside. The scoop was that after installing CP/M on the 
Amstrad DD1 drive there would only be left 39.5K of memory. And here is 
the shocking truth [ stand by your beds ] ... most CP/M based programs 
need over 40K to work. Seriously. Can you believe that. What were they 
thinking back in November 1984.

Anyway I am about to find out and I'll let you all know the truth. I am 
shocked. I have no idea how I have been successfully running progs on 
the DD1.

By the way I am still trying to find a 5.25"DOS  disk for the Atari 1050 
so I can use it. I ain't paying £20 for one though.
