- I am trying to fish some text files off 5 1/4 inch CPM disks in order to
- put them on an msdos machine. Unfortunately, the CPM machine is a
- specially obscure one: an ancient ICL PC which I believe was a Rair
- Black Box in disguise. I have various programs which do this kind of
- thing, but of course none of them mention Rairs (or ICLs). Does anyone
- know if the format used by Rairs corresponds to that on a less obscure
- machine?
-
- I can tell from the disks that they are DS/DD 48 tpi soft sectored, but
- even then that leaves an awful lot of possibles. If anybody has any
- clues, please email them to me.
