The version of MS-DOS I have for the Zenith 150 comes with a utility called RDCPM.COM. The purpose of which is to read CP/M-86 files on the floppy. The $65,535 question is what is the format for this floppy Specifically : How Many Bytes/Sector ? Interleave Facter ? # of tracks before the Directory ? A Parameter Block for it would be ideal. Total storage of this format ? 180/320/360K --Chuck -- - - - D I S C L A I M E R - - - {ihnp4,fortune}!dual\ All opinions expressed herein are my {qantel,idi}-> !intelca!cem own and not those of my employer, my {ucbvax,hao}!hplabs/ friends, or my avocado plant. :-}

RDCPM for the Z-100 is designed to read Heath/Zenith CP/M and CP/M-85 formats (It was available before CP/M-86 on the Z-100). Heath has used 2 CP/M formats, 16*256 byte secotrs / track and 8*512 byte secotrs per track. Apparently RDCPM figures out which you are using. It doesn't work on the IBM, I tried. Bill Pearson -------
