In the SIMTEL directory <cpm.dskutl> there are a few programs that
supposed-ly (according to the 00-index.txt) lets you read IBM-PC diskies
on the CP/M. I downloaded two of them; one of them does not work.
(My QX-10 has 256-byte sectors, whereas MS-DOS does 512-byte. I tried
CP/M-86 format which is available on my computer, but it doesn't work
on double sided disks. Single-sided, I have yet to try) - that's
RDMSDOS.lbr. The other one, READ-PC.LBR, is in Turbo Pascal, so I can't use it,
yet.
I am trying to get another one, RDMS233.lbr, but the RPIECS keeps refusing
to send it to me (and blame it on the network congestion), so I can't
say anything about it.
If you have an IBM compatible around, you could peep into <MSDOS.DSKUTL>
and see what they've got. My request for directory listing is stuck
at YALEVM right this moment.
Good luck.
