- TRSCROSS will do it, but it's a commercial program, probably in
- the $60-$80 range (currently available from MISOSYS, 1-800-MISOSYS).
- For a cheaper solution, you might try to get a disk zapper that doesn't
- care about formats very much, so that it will read anything the disk
- controller can read. I'm not sure whether Norton Utilities will do that
- or not, but you could try and see.

- Of course, you could just find someone with a TRS-80. That would
- introduce lots of other solutions.
