Chris:

You have all the manuals. The other "original" binder
that came with the unit is entitled "Approved Software"
and contains 14 disks for: CP/M Plus (3 disks),
Wordstar/Mailmerge (2 disks), Supercalc (1 disk),
MBASIC/CBASIC (1 disk), Personal Pearl (6 disks) and
UCSD p-System (1 disk). Hope this helps.
