I tend to agree that Godbout does a terrific job of supplying preconfigured
CPM's for just about every combination of their hardware.  Unfortunately,
(but in some respects, fortunately), I augment the CompuPro stuff with a 
CCS 4-port serial board that I have modified to do what I want.  I need 
a full-spec RS232 port to drive my Racal-Vadic, which I use for a RCP/M
system part of the time.  But the rest is all Godbout:  8085/8088, memory,
Disk 1, and System Support 1.

Thus, BIOS programming is necessary in my case.  I like to use an interrupt-
driven keyboard as well, and Sorcim does not provide for that.  So I have
to modify the BIOS to handle that.  I am also a hacker/tinkerer and I love
to play with CP/M.  That's why I need to have an assembleable BIOS.
