[comp.os.cpm] Osborne I format problem

mcclenne@poly2.cis.upenn.edu (nennelccM nodroG) (06/08/91)

I have an Osborne I which recently managed to get running again, but
after booting the system disk (and all the others I have) I discovered
that I have no format program, (the copy program is missing), nor do I
have enough information about the system to write my own format program.
Is there any Osborne I owner out there that would be willing to help?
I do have download capabilities, but the computer is pretty much useless 
as it is -- most the disks I have for it are full.  Thanks for any help 
in advance.

Gordon,
 
   Drop me a note at the address below with the information on your sign 
on screen, OCC, Nuevo, or what ever when you turn or the computer, and 
if you have a program like XDIR.COM to run and find out what the size of 
the disks are let me know that too, They could be 90, 180, 390, 0r 780 
k drives dependent on what if any modifications have been made. I have 
copy progams for 90, 180, and 780 on my O-1's. Unless you just have 
something real unusual I can probably help. Let me know if there is any 
other type of Osborne prog you need help finding in the note, I might 
have it. I only get on the Echo every other week or so, and if you just 
leave a message here, There is a good chance I will never see it. Type 
at you later...
