I have a 3.5" DD disk from a non ms-dos device.  The device
is not a computer, and I have no idea of what sort of file
system is on it, if any.  I can read the first few bytes
with Norton Disk Editor, but when I try to page down, it 
says "Sector not found".  Is there any utility for reading
bits of a disk at a lower level than disk editor does?  I
know it is possible to read this disk in a pc, but I just
don't have the right tools (ie, it's not a mac variable
speed disk).
