Osborne 1 -software & part

[slimbob]

Hello,
I have an Osborne 1 that appears to be in working condition but I do not have a boot disk or any other software or original documentation. I would like to either buy a set of original disks or backup disks if someone could copy theirs. Any pertinent documentation would be nice to find also.

I would also like to find a cover for the compartment where the power cord is stored. It attaches with velcro. If anyone has any of these items for sale please email me.

Thanks,

Jim Hauck

Thanks Terry!
I think that the software source you provided probably has everything I need but the sticking point is that I don't presently have a PC with a 5.25 floppy with which to burn the images into disks the Osborne will read. If I don't have any luck locating the 5.25 format disks, I will look around for a suitable machine.

Thanks again,

Jim Hauck

Just about any ol' PC or clone will do, but try to find sum'n with a 360K drive. TeleDisk doesn't always play well with HD drives.
