This is my first try at producing a CDROM of my CP/M (mostly) �
disk collection. This is not a collection of public domain stuff �
as the first commercial CP/M CDROM did that pretty completely.

This is my personal collection of 5" and 8" disks including the �
bunch of Morrow factory disks that I got from Ron Jacobs. The �
collection is not yet complete as there are several boxes of �
NorthStar hard sector disks to be moved over to Morrow soft �
sector format so that I can read them on to the hard drive. The �
Morrow Micronix (Z80) and Tricep (68000) versions of UNIX are in �
hard sector format as well and it will take some doing to get �
these ready to go. I know that these are not CP/M but I want to �
preserve them as well. 

The Unofficial Caldera CP/M web site has the source as well as �
object code for most of Digital Researches products available for �
download. They do not yet allow distribution by other means so �
this material is also not on the CDROM. You may find material on �
both this CDROM and the web site because the material came from �
here in the first place.

There were cases of loose disks as my collection is the compila�
tion of about five others with mine. Don't expect any organiza�
tion there. The Morrow collection also had a bunch of loose �
disks. Sorry about that. I deliberately left in duplicate copies �
for redundancy in case of bad copies. I do not think that many �
people with Pentiums equipe them with 8" and 360K 5" drives.

Some of the 5" boot disks have a file called 'image'. This is an �
image of the disk made with 'COPYQM' by SYDEX. The program can �
copy the image onto a 5" disk in the original format or can �
translate it to a standard IBM style 5" or 3.5" format. Public �
Domain versions are available if you are to cheap to pay SYDEX �
for the latest version. It is worth the minimal cost believe me.

Have fun - Rlee
