    Let me lead off by saying. Video editing isn't my thing. This is my first attempt at editing with Shotcut. My previous experience was with Windows movie maker...... The original version.

    At any rate I was told by my fellow club members. That I needed at least Win11 to do Winlink. And what follows is video evidence that at least for the offline part. You do not.

    If you want to try this for yourself. This is a good page.

    Thank you very much for your work on this. Very impressive. I haven't seen a CP/M prompt in many years. My first machine was an IMSAI 8080 with 4K memory. Fifteen minutes of flipping switches to load the boot routine so you could boot CP/M off of an 8" floppy. I'd buy kit boards to fill the expansion slots and build them and modify them as the S-100 standard evolved. I still painfully remember downloading 30K files over 2400 baud. There was so much available out there! The slow clicking of your keyboard brought back so many memories. I still have a Godbout(?) box with a bunch of boards in the garage. Sorry, but not inclined to fire it up at this moment.
    Thanks, again.

    Thanks for the reply KM6HXT! I guess I have notification emails turned off?? Sorry for the late reply.
    I too have a Godbout (is that the right spelling??) S100. From a local silent key a couple years ago. Wish I had of been introduced before he passed! It has the dual CPU card with a solitary cpu. I think an 8085. Its on the to do list of projects. I may use the Kaypro as a dumb terminal as the Soroc it came with is doa at the moment.
