I do have a program that lets you read 720K quad floppies on an IBM's 1.2M drive - destructively. You can't use them for Z's anymore. You could rewrite it to restore the disk, however. Kermit would be my choice, but I prefer to arc (zip?) things before kermiting, as kermit uses only 70% of bandwidth. I've seen references for programs that make kermit scripts to transfer whole disks. You should be able to do 38.4Kbaud on both the Z and a clone. DJ dj@ctron.com
