So, awhile back, I picked up this Osborne 1 from a thrift shop in Eureka for $5. They were asking $10, but it didn't have any documentation or diskettes. Otherwise, everything is intact and functioning.

What can I do with this? Is there a way to download *that CPM OS onto DOS 5 1/4 floppies? Is there a way to replace the CPU and still use the 5" screen (like with Palm OS, Chorus, or even Linux)?

Is there a way to just gut it and use it as a big ass lunch box?
