This probably isn't the right newsgroup for this, but here goes.

I have an old Sanyo MBC-555 MS-Dos machine
(vintage early eighties, yeah yeah I know, it's only a young 'un)

Anyway, this particular machine generally hates most MS-DOS software,
but some companies in America did develop applications/games to work
with it's screwy screen setup. 

Actually, for it's day the screen probably wasn't so bad (quite good
high resolution graphics in the days of no graphics IBM machines).

Does anybody else actually own one of these orphans?  Can somebody point
me to a source of software for it?  I really hate to throw it away
because it's built like a brick outhouse and I've kinda grown fond of it.


On a totally unrelated note, I also have an old UNIX machine at home
(some form of old 68K mini) that runs System 3.  The C Shell on it
doesn't appear to have the job control stuff that I'm used to (like
the fg, bg and Ctrl-Z things).  Is there source for C Shell (or something
like it) lying around somewhere that I can recompile and place on this
old clunker?  (I love those 8 inch floppies).
