Hello Adrian;
I read a thread from 2004 on classiccmp.org's website about your CPT 8000 and wonder
if you still have it? If so I may be able to help you out with any missing parts, program
disks, diagrams, etc. just for the price of shipping. I used to service the machines for
the local vendor from 1980 to 1990 and rescued a pile of parts and documentation that were
headed for the dumpster when they were made obsolete by the PC in the late '80s. I
even managed to save several intact machines. The CPT 8000 and its descendants were quite
advanced for their time and had features that CPT's competitors (IBM, Wang and Lanier)
couldn't come close to matching.
I haven't fired my 8135 up in quite a few years so I'm not sure if any of the
software floppies are still readable. All my program disks may already be unreadable.
