Need help with retrieving data from a DOS 2.11 formated floppy disk

Hi everyone:


I need help to solve a problem. Could anyone lends a hand?

The company I work for has a machine that runs on DOS 2.11
There are some data on that machine that we need to retrieve. The information is transfered from that old machine to a 1.44mb floppy.

When we put the floppy into our pentium winNT4 computer , we can not read the information on the floppy. The NT os simply says it does not know what format the files are at.

Now do I need to install a dos 2.11 or is there anyway around it ?
What is the format the dos2.11 writing its files in?
Are there any program that reads in that type of format?
Does any one here have DOS 2.11 that I can download?
Even if I do have DOS 2.11, will I be able to install it or do I need very old hardware as well?
