I have an Amstrad PCW82whatever which a bought several years ago mostly to be
used as a word processor. It is a CP/M based system but uses the strangest
little 3" diskette cartridges (NOT 3 1/2"!). 

If anyone has one of these, do you know how I could adapt a 5 1/4" floppy disk to this machine? Is there a conversion routine to input/output DOS format disks?

Also, the word processor that it uses is called Locascript. It is great for me!
Do you know if it comes in a MS-DOS version?

I really would like to know if anyone is still using this machine. 
I hate to get rid of it.
