Thanks,

I just bought an Osborne Executive in great shape. I
always wanted one! It
came with these manuals:
- Volume 0 - Beginners Guide
- Volume 1 - Mastering the Osborne Executive
- Volume 2 - Working with text and Spreadsheets
- Volume 3 - Managing information with Personal Pearl
- Volume 4 - Operating System
- Reference Guide Binder with tabs for WordStar, SuperCalc, CP/M Plus, CBASIC
and MS BASIC.
Does anyone here on the Model 100 listserv know if these ALL the manuals that
came with a new Osborne Executive?
Also, unfortunately, it came with 4 non-original, non-labeled disks. It
is not
clear to me what is on the 4 disks or the logic of them
since I'm new to
CP/M.
I know that WordStar and some CP/M Plus are on those
disks. But I don't
believe
I have SuperCalc, CBASIC, MS BASIC or Personal Pearl.
I'm not even sure I
have
the full WordStar and CP/M Plus.
So I'm looking to get an exact copy of the original disk set that came
with the
Osborne Executive. Also, I though it would be cool to
get a picture of the
disks' labels so I can re-create them.
Can you help? Is there a file list by disk somewhere?
I'm assuming the bundled software included:
- CP/M Plus
- WordStar
- SuperCalc
- Personal Pearl
- CBASIC
- MS BASIC
Thanks a bunch.

Chris:
You have all the manuals. The other "original" binder
that came with the unit is entitled "Approved Software"
and contains 14 disks for: CP/M Plus (3 disks),
Wordstar/Mailmerge (2 disks), Supercalc (1 disk),
MBASIC/CBASIC (1 disk), Personal Pearl (6 disks) and
UCSD p-System (1 disk). Hope this helps.
