Subject: how to read cpm disk drive from pc?

Is there a program out there that will let me read cpm disk drives
via serial port of a pc?

The cpm machine reads like this on boot up time:

(turn key) 
JADE COMPUTER SYSTEMS MONITER 2.2B

EFFF
#

(insert system disk, then press 'e')

JADE COMPUTER SYSTEMS
60K CP/M 2.2 DDBIOS 2

I'd like to be able to read the cpm disk drive via pc's serial port,
so I can copy the cpm disk to pc (sort of like using dos's copy
command).  Currently I use a customized file transfer program, but I
find it rather slow for the daunting task I have (I have to transfer
500+ diskettes).  

If there exists such a program, could anyone direct me to the
source?

Please reply via email...

Thank you,
