I was happy to have an org disk but it fails to read proper.
See photo the obvious, some holes in it.

Does someone has an Image or know to find an image?
Would be great.

Product: CP/M SYSTEM & UTL (1)
Part No: MM00027 CP/M 3.02

Yes, this disk looks somewhat sad. The magnetic surface is flaking from the substrate. I had some Wabash floppies that were doing this, but most disks seem to have survived well, even lota of cheaper 'noname' types.

Trying to use such a disk is more likely to damage your floppy drive that produce any useable data.

You don't say what system (i.e. hardware') this disc was intended for. CP/M 3 will still involve a BIOS which will be highly specific to a specific machine. Other parts of the system may be much less specific. If the general system involves significant banking, then this may again be specific to a specific machine.

If the disks you have relate to a development system, that still needs final building for a specific system, then it may still be quite generic, but then it would be a help to say who supplied the disks (i.e. obtained from DR directly ?). Especially if you have other parts of the package.

Maurice,
The Bondwell 12/14 files I have located and saved are all CP/M Ver 2.2. I did locate a CPM3.zip
(not Bondwell) that was 3.01 CPM.

Nothing matches the Floppy you have listed.

Hello Maurice,

I guess it depends on what you hope to do with this machine.

If you just want to get it working, then you could get the disks for CP/M 2.2 and work with them. If they are set up (the BIOS etc) for the right machine, then this will be functional.

If you've got the machine with the extra RAM, then 2.2 might not be able to use it. The possible big benefit of CP/M 3 is that you can boot into a system setup which uses the banked RAM, giving you the potential of a larger TPA. The PCW machine that I use boots to a system with 61k TPA, with CP/M 3 fully active.

I think this might be what you are looking for:
