Hi,
	I'm in need of some help/info (whats new?) -
I've layed my hands on a DEC Rainbow 100 thats got a copy
of DOS 2.11 - In my naive simplicity I assumed discs written
by one DOS would be much akin to discs written by another.
I'd figured without DEC's pathological desire to be different.

	Anybody out there know of any way I can get a Rainbow
to read a IBM (or compatable) formatted disc?

	Sneaky options to format, trendy peice of PD software
that reads standard DOS discs, whilst not corrupting DEC DOS
disks - makes tea and plays a good hand of bridge etc :-)

Cheers,

Rodge.

ps - I'm aware this is one of those '1000 most often asked questions'
so bear with me :-)
