disks are nothing to do with the Nimbus, just some
stuff that also came from RM. Plus the Nimbus has 3.5"
disks, which is what probably led to the question on ebay.
There is a

No, a Nimbus is a much later machine, I think it was 80186-based and
ran a custom version of MS-DOS. From the auction:
Q: What software is on 5.25. It is probably not for this machine. More
likely a 480z or 380z.

A: Hi the software on 5.25 discs is: - TXED V4, ZASM Z80, BCPL for the
Z80, Extended Basic V5, Wordstar V3.0, CPM operating system, SBAS,
ED.com, ASM.com. Hope this helps.
