      Manuel,

      Enclosed are nine disks for your Osborne I.  They include the
      System Disk, Utilities, Wordstar, BASIC programming language,
      dBase II database manager, and an Extended Utilities disk.
      The last one will only be of use to you if your machine has
      been modified to provide 80 column display capability.  Try
      the disk.  If it works, you have it.  If it does not, you now
      have a spare disk!  There are also both single and double
      density system disks.  If the double density disk works on your
      machine, you will want to copy the other disk's contents onto
      formatted and sysgen'd double density disks.

      One of the first things that you should do is to make working
      copies of these disks, and put them in a safe place so that they
      are available later if all of your working copies get damaged.
      You will also have to put the operating system on your working
      dBase disk as I was unable to.  This is done with the SYSGEN
      program.  It is pretty self explanatory, and should not give
      you any trouble.  If you have a question, give me a call.

                                                      - don
