agreed, this is the best newsgroup. The comp.os.cpm is cluttered with all
sorts of systems, seldom does Apple get a mention.

give Louis some credit, he built and ran a Apple computer classroom from
discarded Apples for many years.

granted he will probably need the appropriate CPM software for the card,
there is no reason that once the CP/M is up and running that it should be
able to read any Apple CP/M formatted disk.

Louis, I have the StarCard (a PCPI card that was bundled with WordStar). If
that's the one you need send me an e-mail and I'll try to help out. I have
3.5" and 5.25" boot disks. I also have a Micro$tuff compatable card with
5.25" boot disk. BTW CP/M disks cannot be compressed with GS Shrinkit, but
can with 8-bit Shrinkit 3.4.
