Support for Cromemco TU-ART
Posted: October 18th, 2021, 3:27 am
I have a Cromemco TU-ART as the serial board in my Altair. It's worked great so far, but up to this point I've been writing all my own software. I'm gearing up to add disk storage capability now and looking forward to using CP/M, BASIC, and all the wealth of standard software out there, which I gather is mostly geared to the expectation that one is running the more standard MITS serial board. Am I right in imagining that I need to switch to one of those to avoid having to custom-patch all the ROM monitors, CP/M BIOS, and everything else, or was TU-ART actually a widely supported board that might work AS-IS with the usual ROMs and CP/M and such?
