The 820, is, I think, my favourite CP/M machine.
Mind if I ask why? So far I still prefer my Kaypro 10, but my mind is
always open ;>)
They can be twitchy
though, often stemming from dirty contacts on various cards.
I'll keep that in mind.
I might have some Xerox manuals somewhere. They might
be buried deep,
though. Want me to look?
Only if it is convenient for you.
WordStar runs very nicely on the 820. I used
it for a number of years.
Fortunately, I have WS 3.3, dBase II, and Multiplan.
Anyway, thanks for the info.

I love the keyboards, especially the old one. Also, the high disk capacity.
It was always a joy to work with.
Good that you have the software. Supposedly there is WordStar4 for it,
but I don't think I've seen it.
