   I recently unearthed a carton of Verbatim 5.25 inch disks.  These appear brand
new (my guess is only 3 or 4 have seen the inside of a disk drive).  If anyone
out there has a use for Double Sided / Double Density / 10 sector disks, I would
be more than happy to trade you for them.  (That's right, these are hard-sectored
disks.)
    If you are interested in these (all 260 of them!), drop me a line.

	   I have benn having problems with my communications when I use an

	   Curiously, this doesn't happen at 1200 BPS or less. Also I have down

   to the screen was ex...    instead of more it writes "me" or instead of

[I tried replying to this by email, but it bounced due to "User unknown"]

I see from this posting on comp.os.cpm that some people are doing serial
communications on a Kaypro II.  My mother has a Kaypro too, and she's about
to dump it in favor of a Mac.  What comm software do you use folks use on
the Kaypro?  Is it public domain?  Can I get a copy?  Can it do xmodem or
kermit or some such file transfer protocol?  Or do you know of any way I
can read a CP/M disk on anything else (even a PC would be OK, I can get it
to the Mac from there)?

ps: I suspect the answer to your question about data lossage is that you
are not using any flow control.  You probably have to set up your comm
package and your modem to do flow control (either software, ^S/^Q, or
hardware, RTS/CTS) between them.

pps: want a used Kaypro? :-)

Thanks!  Please respond by email to me if possible.

The problem is that when I hit a key, the computer locks up. If

    	I have a TRS-80 w/2 8" drives & bunch of accounting
    software. It was given to me third hand by some one who knew
    nothing about computers and who's wife told him to GET IT OUT OF
    THEIR GARAGE!
    
    	I plugged it in and tried it. It booted and loaded it's
    DOS from disk, but when I booted it a second time, it seemed to
    score the surface of the disk. Not really wanting to spend a lot
    of time with it, I quit before I did any more damage.
    
    	Bottom line, it works sort of, if you have one or three
    already and want some good spare parts, or want to fix it up as
    an additional machine, it is in basically ok shape, I just don't
    need to play with ANOTHER operating system. (I'm already more
    deeply involved with Unix, DOS, & Commodore64 than I should be!)

    	Apparently the CPU, memory (64k) and monitor are ok, but
    it seems to have a disk problem. I never got as far as checking
    the second drive.

    	I would trade it for an old dos compatable printer, a
    commodore 80 column adapter for the c64, or whatever you have
    gathering dust in your ibm or c64 closet.
    	
    	If you have nothing to trade but want it anyway, don't
    dispair. If no one offers me anything in trade, I will give it
    away to the person with the best sob story. So if your church,
    school, club, etc. uses TRS-80's; you are a starving computer
    student; etc.; you want something for your kids to play with;
    need a boat anchor; etc.; you can come n' git it, or have it for
    the UPS from Maine. My wife wants it OUT OF OUR GARAGE!
