Discussion of technical compatibility questions from around the community: interfacing a Commodore 64 disk drive to the TS2068 (reportedly attempted by an Ohio group per SLIX); TurboPascal 4.0-5.5 CASE/LONGINT compiler bug and fix (use IF..THEN..ELSE instead); MS-DOS version 3.x compatibility issues for compiled programs; searching for a public domain program to read CP/M disks from MS-DOS; and the general non-convertibility of BASIC interpreter programs to compiled form.
