Absolutely correct, see below (from the CP/M+/Mallard Basic link on
the sidebar). I notice they also have 3" drive belts in stock for £5
each - this isn't relevant but somebody was in c.s.s looking for them
recently.

I bought my copy from them. They had run out of the original CP/M
manuals but kindly sent me the full Mallard BASIC manual. However that
was about 5 years ago. No idea if they have any stock left.

Do Locomotive still exist. If you can get hold of a disc, its not protected
in any way.

The manual is very big, but all the pages fell out of mine within a year.
Must be bio degradable glue.

Are they still in Dorking. Even ten years ago they had none left and were
advising people to get the thing second hand.

I don't know where mine is, or I'd coffer it.

Sounds like a very nice deal to me. Its worth every penny, in my view. It
even ran Wordstar on the Speccy if you can get hold of a copy.
