I have lots of 5.25" SSDD *hard* sector disks in CP/M format. I need these
files transferred to a DOS machine. Any suggestions?
I've looked at several CP/M to DOS conversion packages (software), but none
will handle hard sectored disks.
Please email, as I can't keep up with the volume here.
Thanks in advance!

Some of the media conversion services can still do this job, I expect. If you still have the original machine, serial transfer would be cheaper. The package called Move-It is available in both DOS and CP/M hard-sectored versions. You might have to dig a bit to find an ad for this package, but I think it still exists. Good luck! David L.
