Help --- a friend has managed to obtain a SANYO MBC1000 system which is apparently a CP/M machine, but he doesn't have any software for it, and more specifically, a systems disk. I'm assuming that this contains the utilities necessary to format disks and generally fire up the machine. If you would be prepared to send us a copy of such a disk (I know this sounds a bit vague, but then I've never used CP/M :-), let me know how we might go about easing the transfer. Normally I'd use UUENCODE and PKZIP, but have no idea on how to get the info from a PC to a CP/M disk.

This shareware program permits making a file of the original disk and creating a clone of the disk from the file on the other end. It is very powerful and utilitarian software! If you are able to get a copy of the MBC-1000 disk, I'd sure appreciate a copy also! - don Keeper of the CP/M System Disk | UUCP: {nosc ucsd crash ncr-sd}!pnet07!donm Archives for the Dino(saur)SIG | ARPA: simasd!pnet07!donm@nosc.mil - San Diego Computer Society - | INET: donm@pnet07.cts.com
