I have two old Digital Equipment DECmate II WPS-8 word processing systems v1.5.0
that I wish to either make use of or get rid of. One of the machines has a 
CP/M 2.2 board in it. 

I know very little about these machines and was wondering if anybody can 
fill me in on the most recent of this now discontinued system and software.

Can I obtain Unix or another useful OS for them? Is there any useful 
software around, such as print servers, mail handlers etc.. that I could 
utilise?

What can I do with them other than turn them into sea anchors?

Please email

Thanks,

Andrew
