Fellow CP/Mers - I have responded to the first question regarding access to
SIMTEL20.  Can anyone help with the second query?

Dear INFO-CPM;

I have a KAYPRO II [-turned-into-a-IV via MicroCornucopia] that I
want to use to talk to my new Kaypro 2000.  Feeling comfortable
using Kermit to pass files to and from the MILNET and a DARPA
IBM-PC, I would like to use it for my CPM-pc to/from IBM-pc file
transfers.  I have a useable copy of MS-KERMIT, and would like one
to work on my CPM machine.
       While I am willing to try most anything, I need some
more-precise directions than most of your INFO-CPM readers might.
Please don't tell me "do an anonymous FTP to SRI and get ..." .  I
need reasonably explicit directions on how to get from the MILNET
to SIMTEL20 (if that is where some needed file resides) and how to
drag it back out to a file at my MILNET address.

SECOND QUESTION:

       Is there a public domain disk drive control program like
Uniform for the Kapro II/IV machines to read IBM data disks?  I
don't need generality, just a way to load IBM 5 inch disks down
onto my Kaypro 2000's 3 inchers.  Having a perfectly good set of
5 inch DSDD drives on a Kaypro IV makes one think that there
should be a simple [or at least cheap] solution.

       If anyone cares to answer, could you info me at my ARPA-net
[MILNET] address as well as the bboard.  Thanks,
Yours, etc.,
ralph chatham
