Subject: WANTED: CP/M for Cromemco w/Tandon drives

WANTED:  A version of CP/M that runs on a Cromemco
         and supports Tandon 8" and 5.25" floppy drives.

I can't boot my copy of CP/M.

Long ago I bought a copy of MICAH CP/M for the Cromemco configured for
PerSci 8" drives.  My PerSci drive unit died last summer, so I
replaced it with a Tandon TM828-2.  Now I can't boot my copy of MICAH
CP/M.  (MICAH also sold CP/M configured for the Tandon, but at that time
my PerSci's were working, so I got the PerSci version.)

I've tried writing to MICAH twice and gotten no response...most likely
they've moved or aren't in business anymore.  My most recent address
for MICAH is:

        Dr. Jerome Freedman
        MICro Applications and Hardware (MICAH)
        15 Princess Street
        Sausalito, CA 94965

Questions:

1.  Does anybody out there in California know if he/they still exist?

2.  Does anyone have the Tandon version of MICAH CP/M they could send
    me?  (Yes, I'm a registered owner of MICAH CP/M, for whatever THAT's
    worth these days! :^)

3.  Is any other version of CP/M for the Cromemco available that supports
    Tandon drives?  I'm not the only orphaned Cromemco owner looking for
    CP/M.  I'll pass along any info I can find to others who would like it.

4.  If anyone has just the Tandon floppy disk driver code, I might be able
    to install it myself.  (I think the source code for the PerSci drivers
    came with MICAH CP/M, along with some way to install it.  I think I
    could substitute the Tandon driver code without too much pain.)

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
