Contact Don Maslin <donm_at_cts.com>. He is the keeper of the Dina-SIG
System Disk Archive. He is a great source of system disks for CP/M
machines. He usually charges $3 for the first disk and $1-2 for each
additional disk.

I got some system disks for and O1 from him early this year. He is and
excellent resource and a righteous dude. Without him and the system
disk archive many otherwise working machines would have ended up in
the landfill.
