There apparently was work done in that vein by a small firm the bay area 
using standard compupro boards.   I scored a large S100 system about a 
year ago from one of the engineers that worked on it - a Mr Gary Helbig. 
   Along with the hardware, I was handed 4 large boxes of docs and code 
that supposedly contain the source code for a bootable MS-DOS C-Pro 
system.   Still sorting and scanning hardcopy but supposedly all the 
code is in a set of 8" floppies that came with the system.  It 
apparently used the 8085/8088 dual cpu card and the CPro PCVideo card.
