Richard,
I will mail you a copy of the system disks once I work out how to make
copies. Give me your details.
This CPT 8525 came with CP/M and CBasic disks as well as some utility
disks, so although it might be a Wordprocessing machine mostly, it must
have been more generally capable.

Of these computers, the CPT is the least known
(to me). I can find only one
mention of it on the Web and that guy didn't even have a boot disk for it.
At least I have some 8" disks (don't know if it works yet, still got to do
the preliminary check-out before applying power). One of the floppies says
"Tandon CPT" on it (hand-written) and a sticker somewhere suggests it was
built in Ireland. I'd appreciate some more info on it.
That would be me that has one without a boot disk. It came out of a (wet)
Dumpster and I had to really dig to find the keyboard. I too would like
more info; I had one guy e-mail me to offer the program disk for free
if I could fix his 8525 and convert some files "to Pentium II format" in
one week. I tried convincing him to let me give it a try but he didn't
respond.
