- Hello.
-
- May I suggest that the easiest way to convert formats (I do it quite
- often) is to execute the job on one of those PC's which are anyway
- idle anywhere. There is a program at the Simtel PC archive and its
- replica named 22DSK that does it splendidly. It reads/write just about
- any format from ready made tables, and if you have one very strange
- format you can expand the table for your case. It won't work with hard
- sectored diskettes nor with diskettes written with the Motorola
- controller chip found on the old timer Commodore C-64 or Apples.
-
- I also have the Media Master package on CP/M, which costed me some
- money, but I never use it, as it is so more convenient to transit on
- a PC with 22DSK.
