I don't remember the limitations of the unregistered Teledisk program,
but something in the back of my mind says Dave Dunfields IMD (?) will
translate Teledisk programs.
Something I've found very useful over the years is the Don Maslin
archive (I think also posted on bitsavers.) A quick check shows (at
least the ones I looked at) the Osborne protgrams available in Teledisk
format as:

Depending on when you need them, VCFMW is coming
up in a few months. I
have a number of Osborne 1's as well as a couple of 386 machines set
up with Teledisk (I bought it *years* ago when it became available to
listmembers), imagedisk, and *maybe* Dave Dunfields IMD(?). As VCFMW
gets closer and you still need these floppies read, let me know and
I'll put the machines in with the stash of "junque" to unload :).
I *think* you are on the East coast, and it would surprise me if the
RICM doesn't have working Osbornes.

Both the person with the floppies, and I are in Oregon.
I remember that Teledisk buy, thanks, you pointed me in the right
direction, and I found backups of my DOS C:\ Drive on my Mac with
Teledisk and 22Disk, it looks like they?re both unlicensed copies
though. ?That group purchase was way in March ?99, I managed to find the
email from Bruce Lane, that was the HARD part, then I had to find the
email attachment. ?That was easy. ?If Mail.app would do a better job of
searching my email archives, it would have been easy to find the email
itself.
