Subject: Osborne portables

HELP!!! 

I work for a VERY poor research lab... we hdon't have enough money to buy
new machines, so we scrounge what we can from surplus... Well, I just came
across 2 (supposedly functional) Osborne portable machines, which from all
appearances have IEEE488 interfaces (wow!)...  Trouble is, they don't have
any of the docs, or software (not even boot/OS)... We would love to get these
things functional, to use as data acquisition controllers w/ the IEEE488.

So, does anyone have one of these?  Could you *Please* send me copies of
manuals, software, information on these?  (I did pick the right group, right?
they are CPM machines aren't they?)  We would be more than happy to pay
duplication/postage/etc costs.

thanks
