What were you thinking it would beg you for?
Could someone possibly send me some boot-media for
this machine?
I'm sure it's possible that someone could, and that would be
the best route.
As things
sit, I don't even have a PC with a 5-1/4" drive installed, if (and that's
+if+) it were capable of writing discs for the Osborne format.
If you have any
serious intentions of vintage computer collecting, this
is a must have.
I've tried feeding it media for Epson& Kaypro
CP/M machines, but no dice -
it rejects them without a second seek. Anyone know how to handle this?
Usually, I
handle this kind of problem by swapping out the user. :-D
