Subject: DOS <----> CPM copying for obscure m/c

I presently maintain for an outside group an aged EXIDY Sorcerer running
CPM2.2.
I would like to transfer software back and forth via a DOS machine, but try as
I may I cannot read my CPM disks on the PC. I've used SYDEX's ANADISK and
disc copy routines, but neither analysis nor copy works. Nor do any of
the other
copy or analyse routines I've been able to locate. Not being in any
sense a CPM guru, I seek advice from some whizz out there who may have had
experience with a similar m/c. An alternative, of course, would be a simple
cable set-up to provide a serial link between the two m/cs, or modem access.
One problem is an acute shortage of documentation about the m/c, so everything
I do is guesswork. Any help gratefully received. If you wish to email me, my
address, mailers willing, is    rxxqva@skaro.xx.rmit.oz.au.

       anyone else's!)
