There were some glorious CP/M and 8-bit systems

Japanese. One of the major issues is that Japanese machines after
about 1981 tended to use Shift-JIS and hi-res graphics for display,
which CP/M-80 just wasn't up to. So there are a few proprietary OS.
Speaking of Japanese CP/M machines, does anybody have any info or (more importantly) boot
disks/images for the Panasonic JD-800 series?
I have a JD-850M, but don't have any info or boot disks. It has dual 8 inch floppies
and apparently ran CP/M 2.2. They were sold here in Australia mainly for some accounting
package. It's a mighty fine looking computer, and I'd love to get it running.
