Apparently, there was a version of CP/M 2.2 offered for it, but I've
never been able to find the beast.  The processor itself is very
basic--each page is a file and the operation is of a block-oriented
editing terminal.

I've converted a lot of the 8" CPT floppies for customers.

FWIW, the thing is pretty worthless without the requisite system
software floppies.
