[comp.os.cpm] DECmate II

We have a used DECmate II wordprocessing station which we replaces
with a 386 system and wordpPerfect. I would like to use the DEC
if I can get more software. The board is CPM and seems to run
CPM80. NO hard disk; just floppies. Can I use a communication package
to access the serial port for any use. In  the alternative would it
be very difficult to adapt the case monitor and keyboard to use
with another mother board ; such as an IBM ( MS-DOS) board. Eronomically
it was a great station! ( that is ergonomically). Mainly interested in
what I can salvage
