  • ZCN 1.4 - CP/M-like OS for the Amstrad NC100/NC150/NC200

    From Russell Marks@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 10 17:09:15 2022

    ZCN is a CP/M-like operating system for the Amstrad NC100/NC150
    (Notepad) and NC200 (Notebook). It can run most programs which run on
    CP/M 2.2. You usually need a serial link to install it on a real NC,
    and preferably a PCMCIA memory card (required on NC100).

    The main changes in 1.4 are:

    - NC150 support
    - Internal ramdisk support on NC200/NC150 (memory card now optional)
    - More keyboard layouts supported
    - Preinstalled memory card images for emulators
    - Floppy disk boot on NC200 (of a limited kind)
    - Significant bugfixes, for NC200 mostly
    - Various programs added/removed

    Thanks. I don't use it a lot these days, but it was fun to mess about
    with it again.
