This is a general plea for help.

**** HELP ****

A friend of mine has acquired two (2) Digital Equipment DEC-MATE III 
MS-DOS personal computers.  All he got in the deal was the computer
units, power cords, and one disk with what we hope is a version of 
DOS, which will run the things.  What he didn't get was keyboards, 
monitors, monitor cables, documentation.  The disk is not in standard
DOS format, but we managed to get some copies of it made with a COPYIIPC
board.  DEC does not acknowledge that such a system was ever made.
(Their way of avoiding support of a product which was a merchandising 
failure.) 

If there is anyone out there with experience or information that they are
willing to provide, please send me mail.

Thanks ever so much.
