    An outfit named CGRS Microtech made an S-100 adapter for the
Commodore PET.  I wrote a half-assed O/S, an editor, an assembler and
a link editor for the PET that ran on eight inch drives.  I have a
vague memory of generating a version of that software for the Kim and
the Kimsi, the S-100 adapter.  The half-assed O/S was KMMM (Kusche's
Magnetic Media Monitor) and EARL was the editor, assembler and
relocatable linker.  I think I still have the Kimsi and recently
reacquired a Kim-1.
