I'm betting that the "Winchester" means the drive is one of the MFM
drives, such as the RD-54, etc. I'm also betting, based on the wording
of the question (he asks how to xfer the file from disk itself instead
of the system), that Kishore does not have access to a working PDP-11.

So, Probably the only viable option would be to send the drive to
someone who does have a working system with the appropriate controller
and get them to transfer the files to a CDROM, etc.

I'm sure there are many on the list (including me) who would be willing
to do this, provided we had the right controller. I guess what we
really need to know is the model number of the disk itself.
