my CP/M-80 pile'o'gunk

I started inventorying the manuals a week ago, below is a bad
copy of the spreadsheet, in two parts (software and hardware). A
lot of it is common (Cromemco), maybe a few others are of
interest:

Phoenix Software PDOS. Manuals and software (pasm, plink, plib,
etc) but also linkable objects to make the operating system
(Z80, very high-perf (sic), CP/M-80 superset).

JRT Pascal, 8", CP/M-80, xeroxed manual, includes letter
mentioning the price drop from $250 to $25!

Microsoft BASIC Compiler, 8" flop, CP/M-80, xeroxed manual.
Software sucked then, probably amusing now.


I have enough boot disks to simply bring the machine up (assuming
the hardware doesn't catch fire, etc) and copy the files
off. I once had some weird EPROM burner, brand forgotten, that
wanted input as Intel hex, so I have a program called ZAPLOAD
that converts to hex; I'll convert (assuming it does files >
RAM) and send out the serial port as text using Telink, my old
XMODEM program (or at worst, PIP) to my linux laptop. Twice for
good measure, diff. It will have to wait until the rest of the
machine arrives.

I assume no one ever got an 8" flop going under DOS/Win/Linux?

If any manuals are not floating around, I'll scan and make
available.
