- You want the shareware program 22DISK, which can be found at SIMTEL
- mirrors as "msdos/dskutl/22dsk138.zip". PC hardware cannot read old
- single-density Osborne disks, but it can read double densities.
- 22DISK knows about an enormous number of diskette formats.
-
- There are also several emulators, if you need to temporarily execute
- Z80 programs on your PC.
