   I don't see how this would have been an improvement.  The third-party   
   TRS-80 DOSes were far superior to CP/M, and the S/100 bus was just the   
   1975 Altair pinout standardized.  I think the TRS-80 (and the Apple)   
   were both steps up from the old CP/M S-100 systems like the Imsai or Sol.   
      
   It's significant there were both S/100 and CP/M adapters for the TRS-80,   
   but they didn't exactly fly off the shelves.  Who needs it?   
      
   Then again, I've used both CP/M and MS/DOS, and always believed it was   
   a good thing that Gary Kildall was out flying.  But it would have been   
   even better if IBM had talked to Apparat.
