Subject: Xerox 820-II Questions.

I recently acquired an old Xerox 820-2 for the princely sum of $20, and
I was wondering about software, hardware, etc.

I have:

       Xerox 820-2
       Keyboard
       Dual 8" SD floppy drives (250K IBM format)
       Dial 5.25" ?D floppy drives (?format)
       Extra motherboard and some hardware in a box, along with
               some release notes for a hard-drive upgrade. No
               drive though. :-<
       Xerox CP/M 8" distribution disk.
       Select WordProcessor.
       Mountain View Press Forth.
       Various random things on 8" diskettes.

The system doesn't seem to support 8" and 5.25" drives at the same time:
at least there's nothing to daisychain them. It doesn't seem to have the
Double Density option installed, either. Anyone know where I can get a
Xerox 5.25" distribution disk? (does Xerox still sell them, and if so who
do I call?) How about the DD upgrade?

I'd also like to get Kermit on the 8" drives, so I can transfer stuff to
and from it. And a C compiler would be nice (:->).
