Subject: Hitchhiker's Guide for CP/M-80

What wonderful news!  Especially since I have a Z80 CP/M machine which can
handle 5.25" disks.  I recently acquired the correct controller card and
software which allows my machine to read Kaypro II (and other) disks.

Now for the bad news:  after gathering my pennies and soliciting requests from
friends with similar machines, I called Infocom's 800 number.  I was planning
to order about $300 worth of Kaypro II stuff and was surprised to hear that
they are completely out of stock.  For ALL CP/M stuff.

On the off chance that the 800 number operators didn't know about the "funeral
sale", I called the technical assistance number.  They told me that if the
operators didn't have them on their computer, they weren't available.

Still, I haven't given up.  I managed to get an order form from a friend (who
has LOTS of Infocom stuff for his MSDOS machine, **SIGH**), and mailed off an
order today.  When I get some sort of response (either games or a note telling
me that they aren't available) I will post the news.

'Til then, keep on hoping!
