Does anyone have code which will allow me to read 720K diskettes?
I have some archives written on to 720K 3.5 inch disks which
are _not_ MSDOS filesystems.  I want to pull off the data from
the disks and put it onto my hard disk in the following format

sector 1 - 9	cyl 0 head 0
sector 1 - 9	cyl 0 head 1
sector 1 - 9	cyl 1 head 0
sector 1 - 9	cyl 1 head 1
sector 1 - 9	cyl 2 head 0
sector 1 - 9	cyl 2 head 1

you get the idea.    Is there a way of doing this or has someone
already done it?

thanks
