[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Block I/O on 8in Floppies

lewis@cortex.med.jhu.edu (Robert Lewis) (02/20/91)

  I am looking for a way to read 8" floppies on an IBM PC.  Unfortunately,
the format of the disk is not known.  I would like to be able to read the
disk block by block (not at the device level though) without paying any
special attention to the directory information.  Please e-mail me if you
know of any hardware or software that can be used to do this.  C library 
routines would be ideal.  Thanks in advance.
