I have gotten some firmware source on a 8" CP/M floppy and want to decode
the filesystem.  I went to "Software, Etc." and at least the guys working
there had HEARD of CP/M...  The files I want can probably be extracted
just by sorting through the data sectors by hand, but I figure if I need
to do this once, I might just need to do it again, and would enjoy doing
it "right" anyway.

comp.os.cpm readers: please respond by mail -- my system doesn't get this
newsgroup.

mn.general readers: I included you because I thought someone might have
something I could drive over and look at, borrow, or have hiding under
your desk or in the back of your bookshelf.
