I can offer this if it helps. I have a CP/M system that reads standard
IBM-formatted single-sided single-density 8" diskettes (seems kinda
funny to call those monsterous things disk"ettes", doesn't it?). I can
transfer files, using Kermit, to a PC and make CDs.

Just a thought. I live in the Detroit area.
