I've inherited an Apple ][+ clone of dubious heritage. It came with a small
collection of software (Dos 3.3, CP/M, Ascii Express, various games), but 
almost no documentation.

From playing with it, I've determined the following:

It's an Apple ][+ clone (The motherboard is marked "Unicom", I believe,
while the case is unmarked). It has 64k memory, an apple communications
card, a Videx 80-column card, a Z-80 card, and one disk drive with controller.

I have a number of questions:

- Is there any publically available source of documentation for any of this
  stuff (com card, videx card, Z-80 card esp.)? 
- Can the Apple com card run at anything other than 300 bps? I managed to
  snarf a copy of Kermit 3.87, but the com card appears to ignore any baud
  setting from within Kermit other than 300 bps. 
- How can I copy single files from one disk to another? Dos 3.3 doesn't seem
  to support anything other than copying entire disks. 
- How do I transfer files between Apple Dos and CP/M? I don't have Kermit
  running on the CP/M side. 
- How do I convert between the different Apple file formats (A/I/B/T)? The
  only conversion I've been able to manage is A or I to T (using list) and
  listed basic T's to A or I (using exec). 

Please point me to decent sources of software (commercial and/or free) and
hardware for this thing, if any still remain. 

Many thanks,

John
