    Last week I had the dubious good fortune to acquire three old
computers, sans software or documentation.  If possible, I would
like to get all three of them up and operating and keep the best
one for a word processor.  The three are:

    1. North Star Advantage with 15 MB hard drive.
    2. Ontel 1505/OIS 1500 (OP1/15) with 5 MB hard drive.
    3. Sanyo MBC 1000 with one DS/DD floppy drive.

    I have a CP/M boot disk for the Northstar, but I do not have
the Hard Disk Operating System (HDOS).  I would appreciate any
leads to operating systems, software, or documentation for any of
these computers.  I would especially like to find the plug-in
board that reportedly enables the North Star to run MS-DOS
programs.  I have also heard that there is a program that allows
the North Star to read/write soft-sectored diskettes.  Thanks in
advance,
