With my Kaypro-2 came a program which enabled it to read Osborne
disks. If the only problem is the disk format that should solve it.
I suppose you can get it from another Kaypro owner, as it came bundled
with your machine and you have some sort of right to it.
If, however, dbaseII needs to be customized for use on a particular
CP/M machine, it will not be that easy, I am afraid :-( (I simply do
not know)
