Hi Philip,

Don Maslin has the list of Intertec stuff below in his collection of
CP/M boot disks.  He is kind enough to distribute these in the U.S. for
his cost of $3/first disk and $1/each additional.  Contact him at
donm(a)cts.com and see what it would run for international shipping.

 One machine I hear very little about nowadays - the Superbrain.

 It was one of the CPM machines that competed with the later PETs and 
 things, and there used to be one that sat in the librarian's office 
 where I work.  One day I saw it being trundled towards the stores, and

 sure enough it appeared in the skip soon afterward.

 A little discussion with our procurement (= disposals) people, and the

 machine went home with me.  It now sits on my shelves, waiting for 
 someone to give it a boot disk.

 Anyone know where to get system disks for this machine?  I have one 
 friend who keeps promising to ask his neighbour (etc....) to get me
 one, 
 but said neighbour never seems to be available.  Can anyone else get
 me 
 a disk? - I will pay all reasonable costs involved, of course.

 Philip.
