I recently acquired an Eagle IIE-2 CP/M computer, along with a binder containing manuals and diskettes for Spellbinder 2.30 and Ultracalc 2.0: http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/Eagle/ The Eagle has single-sided, 80 track (96tpi) drives. It was missing the the CP/M / CBASIC disk, and I was able to create one from an image in Don Maslin's archive. The image was in Teledisk format (TD0), originally read on a quad-density 96tpi drive at 250kpbs. I used the TD02IMD utility to convert it to an IMD image, then used IMD with the data rate set to translate from 250kpbs to 300kpbs to write the image on a 1.2MB HD drive. Works fine.

Congrats on the find. This reminded me of the tragic demise of the Eagle president just after they went public. http://www.nytimes.com/1983/06/10/business/corporate-triumph-then-death-in-a...
