Subject: SORD CP/M computer

       I'm not sure what kind of disks I take...that is much of the
problem!  I am running a SORD M-68, a dual processor (Z80/68000)
machine that was made (and sold) exclusizely in Japan. My uncle
received it as a gift when he ran Citibank's computer operations in
Japan. When it came time for me to go to college, the SORD had evolved
from the latest to technology to paperweight mode, so my uncle passed
it on to me.

       In any case, I know that the disks I use are 5-1/4" floppys,
approximately 1MB storage. They are not compatible with IBM-PC disks,
if that is any help.

       I have C for my 68000 (running CP/M there), WordStar (I think
3.00) for my Z80, and then a batch of other stuff (including Basic)
for SORD's own OS running on the Z80. I don't have much information
about the internals.....  my uncle didn't have those manuals (he
didn't bother bringing them back since they were in Japanese!).

       Please let me know if you can think of any possible way that I
can get Kermit from the VAXen here (which can get it with FTP) to my
micro.

       Thanks,
                       Danny Padwa
