     Think you will need some fairly special diskettes.

     According to a brief blurb in the Apple II History (on Ground at
http://ground.ecn.uiowa.edu/2/apple2/Faqs/R018V3HIST.TXT ), the ALF 8088
board is intended for running CPM86 software.

     There are several CP/M stuff links in the Csa2 Programmer FAQs at
http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/csa2pfaq.html#013 .
