Keith:
The "CPM" topic doesnt come up too frequently, (or maybe it does)
I have (10) 5.25 boxes full of CPM disks, original and copies, sample
programs
and just about everything having to do with cpm that im not using. If
your interested
please let me know.

Since they are MFM, shouldn't a DOS system be able to read them with
22DISK ... of course, nowadays its not as easy as it once was to
finding a 5.25" drive attached to a DOS machine, but it would be
straightforward to get one put together.
