I have an SB180FX with 2 3.5" and 2 5.25" floppies connected. Does anybody know if there is a way to read standard IBM PC floppies?

I'm not sure, but I know who WOULD be sure: Bridger Mitchell. He's the author of a commercial program called DOSDISK. It runs on my '84 Kaypro/TurboROM, and it MAY be available for the SB180FX. To get in touch with Bridger, try one of the Z-nodes around the country; Lillypute ZNODE in Chicago is (312)-649-1730; you might want to try there first.

The only catch is that you need the XSystems XBIOS for it to work. XBIOS is a replacement bios for the SB180's moves much of the bios code into an alternate RAM bank. I don't have XSystems address in front of me, but I can get it for you if you need it. Plu*Perfect Systems' address is: 410 23rd St. Santa Monica, CA 90402 The price for DosDisk for the SB180 is $35. I believe that there is also a version of Uniform for the SB180, but I don't know how to get in touch with the people who market it. Jeff Wieland wieland@ecn.purdue.edu
