Of course this all assumes that I *have* a PC.

However, if the CP/M disks simply contain files and don't use the normal
CP/M disk structure, I can transfer the files via the parallel<->user port
cable I have.

Otherwise I guess I'll have to write a disk image transfer program using
the modem like I did with the Apple ][. (I don't know how to do the
programming for the parallel cable, and phone cable is pysically much
easier to set up as I don't have to move any machines.)

I have to get the hardware to work before I worry about disks, though.
