I have moved from my trusty cpm machine to a '486 clone but I
still want to use my cpm machine and have the convenience of
a hard drive. What I want to do is connect the two machines
together using either a parallel or serial cable and use the
PC as a hard drive for my cpm machine. Ideally it would be
controlled form the cpm machine with programmes like 'get'
or 'rdir' to get the relevant info from the PC. It would be
nice for the PC side to run as a TSR but this is not 
important. What WOULD be nice is for somebody to have already
done this or something similar. If this is the case, please
email me on u8515682@uow.edu.au. Since I doubt this, any hints
would be useful. The details follow:

CP/M: MicroBee 128k SBC serial port/hardware port 62k RAM DISK
PC: '486/33 4M RAM DR-Dos 6 120MB HDD 2SP/2PP

I would probably implement the transfers in parallel as programming
the MicroBee to do serial communication is apparently horrific.
I want to do as much in C as possible.
