Dudez & Dudettez!

Otay, I got everything I need..... Almost. :-/

I have an (apparently) functional Chipmunk drive, an (apparently) 
functional interface board for it, and now the cable as well.

I have a computer with SuperROM in it, which seems to have no clue what the 
heck a Chipmunk drive is... <sniff> So much for the "easy way out"...

In what little I can find on the InterWeb there was a DOS boot disk for the 
'munks, and IIRC it was called CDOS (bookmarks at home, /me at work right 
now)...

*Anyone* out there have a copy of the boot disk for a Chipmunk drive? Will 
paypal or trade whatever necessary...[1]

[[ My apologies to those who may be subbed to both lists -- It's ontopic 
for both, and I wanted to reach the widest audience possible. ]]

BTW, Anyone know of a good US supplier for NiCd (or NiMH would work too, I 
suppose) battery packs, or at least soldertab AA, C and/or D cells? I have 
battery packs to rebuild for the following equipment:

3 chipmunk drives
Tandy Model 600
Panasonic HHC
Panasonic HHC Printer

and offtopically, whist I'm at it I could "more easily" power 4 homebrew 
AVR boards I'm building...

And that's just off the top of my head...

I could possibly build soldertab batteries, I have some silver epoxy 
available, but it would be a fair amount of work to do... I'd much prefer 
to just buy the things.

Thanks!

[1] I have a few spare Model T's available, I'll have 2 chipmunk drives 
available after the battery rebuilds, a couple of kids, maybe the wife, 
whaddya want? ;-P
