I have one of those collecting dust. Just be warned they use the
infamous Keytronic foam pads in the keyboard and most keys probably
don't work anymore. They do run cp/m 68k but, most of the usual cp/m
stuff isn't actually installed. Just the protocol diagnostics stuff and
a few other things.

I have a Sony SMC-70G for which I have CP/M on a 3.5" disk. (I believe
this machine was the -first- to use Sony's newly invented 3.5"
disk/drive...)

But who can name a machine with the 3.25" disks that Dysan bet the company
on?

Repeat 325 times:
But if at first he minds his hits,
And drinks Champaigne among the wits,
Five deep he toasts the towering lasses,
Repeats yon verse wrote on glasses:
Is in the chair, prescribes the law,
And lies with those he never saw.

Although there was a big push, almost successfully making most MAJOR
programs available on 3.25", and trying to get "everybody" to go to 3.25,
Seequa Chameleon 325 was the only machine that I know of that ever
released a new model with a 3.25" drive.
