22DISK allows you to convert, format and manipulate diskettes in over 450
CP/M formats to and from DOS files. Your old CP/M machine may be gone, but
you can read its diskettes in the drives of your PC-compatible. Some
formats will require a 1.2M diskette drive; a very few will require a
diskette controller that handles single-density diskettes. An ASCII
diskette description drive allows "roll your own" specifications for
hard-to-find or proprietary systems.
