I have been hacking away at a California Computer Systems S-100 system
for over a year now, and I have nearly everything running at full capacity.
I have a ton of software running, and have written my own device drivers
for nearly all my custom hardware.  My problem is that, while I did get a
bootable disk with the computer, I did not get the system disk (well, ok, I
did but it was apparently damaged).  As a result, I cannot SYSGEN or MOVCPM,
and all of my device drivers are horrible kludges.  Does ANYONE out there
know where I can get the complete system disk so that I can reassemble
a nice nifty new CBIOS?  My system has two 8-inch DSDD (1.2Meg) top o' the line
drives, but it would be nice to receive said files over the network by
UUENCODED e-mail or by ftp, if possible.

Incidentally, a comment:  I have been following this newsgroup for a few months
now and I am amazed at the amounts of money CP/M people buy/sell their systems
for.  I found most of my system listed in old _Byte_ ads for around $2500 ten
years ago; I picked it up for $35.  You certainly can't beat a deal like that,
but I would never never never never consider several hundreds of dollars for
obsolete hardware (of course, I mean that endearingly).
