Subject: Altair S-100 HELP

I am looking for some information on the Altair S-100 Bus
machine with a Compu-Pro Dual processor board with 8085/8088
processors. I am running CP/M (2.2 I think) in the 8085 mode
which it defaults to.  The 8088 processor, according to the
manual, is sleeping and it doesn't exactly tell how to "wake"
it up.  The manual tells me how to create a file called
tkfxboot.com to be run in 8085 mode to awake the 8088 and boot
an apropriate DOS (ie. my CP/M 86), but it doesn't seem to work.  
If anyone has any advice on either what to do, who to talk to,
or where to look for the answer to this problem I would greatly
appreciate it.  

I am confident that I will eventually find the
answer, so I am also looking for some inexpensive S-100 bus
equipment, in particular a hard drive and more memory (I
currently only have 64k and 4 8" DD drives).

This system was donated to my school (Torrance High,2200
Carson St, Torrance, CA 90501) so if anyone would like to call
in any help (or possibly donate some more equipment) my number
is (213)533-1123; I am only at this number from 2:00pm to 3:00
PDT.

       I am posting this for a friend at my highschool, and if
you can't call him there then feel free to send me the message and
I will forward all replies to him. Thanks.
