[comp.sys.ti] Reading TI-99/4A Floppys on DOS Drives and Machines

DSTIVEND@cmsa.gmr.com (04/23/91)

My TI 99/4A hardware is currently unavailable.

I need to read engineering/investment files (program and ascii data)
over to DOS-4.01 machines from TI 90K floppies.

Is there a Norton, PCTools, or Mace program which can address the TI
40-track disks and read, not necessarily formatted or blocked, the data
into a dos machine from a dos floppy drive.

An editor may be used to provide cr/lf and/or other formatting after reading.

Mabe there is a product out there just for this purpose.

Can anyone get me started off in a smart direction?

i just know of a guy, whose name is Paolo Bagnaresi (doctor), in Milano
here in Italy, who developed a bunch of utilities time ago, and still
does, for the TI 99. I know he wrote also a DOS formatter/reader for
the TI, but of course needs a TI...
For sure the DOS utilities he wrote were working great.

Don't think is what you are looking for...
