[comp.sys.ibm.pc] weird format ???

eh1b+@andrew.cmu.edu (Eric David Hornchek) (07/11/90)

A member of our faculty received a disk from a colleague in Russia where
there seems to be a shortage of quality high density disks.  The disk
was formatted with 82 tracks and 10 sectors per track instead of the
usual 80 tracks, 15 spt used on high density disks.  My question is, does
anyone know of a utility program or any other fix that will enable us
to read formats other than the standard 360K & 1.2 meg formats?  Any help
would greatly be appreciated.
