I have an Altos computer that was marketed under Moore Business
System's label. I understand it runs with a Z80 chip and uses
CPM, and it probably came out around the early 1980's. I'd like
 to make use of it alongside my Mac+. I understand the hard drive
 it has can't be easily interfaced to the Mac, but I'd like to
 make use of the Altos as best I can, including sending files
 back and forth to the Mac.

What I'd like to know in general is what public domain or
shareware programs are around for it, and can it run any garden
 variety CPM program(if such things exist). I have no manuals for
 the machine, plus I use my Mac+ for most everything. It's just
 that I got this Altos for cheap, and I'd like to explore what's
 out there for it, ESPECIALLY telecommunication programs and BBS
 host programs- I'm contemplating running a BBS off of it since
 it has a 8.5 Meg hard drive in it. I'd also like to know more
 about transferring files to and from my Mac+. Please send your
 replies to me: UD069225 at VM1.NODAK.EDU.

Thanks for whatever you can come up with..  Eric.
