I just discovered that our system receives this group, very
interesting......

Here at the Big 'B' there are Apollo and Mentor machines
*everywhere*.....so there is potential for much more interaction in
this particular group...I'm not real sure what normally gets
transfered in this group being that it is moderated...I note from the
number of messages that there is very little traffic....

I posted the following to net.wanted.sources, but have yet to
receive a reply....

I am looking for a floppy disk utility for Apollo machines that
will read and write cpm format 8" disks...

The *experts* here (at the Big 'B') told me they didn't think it
could be done...
However, I might be able to write my own utility if I knew enough
about the operating system, etc.

If anyone has even just ideas on the subject, I'll take 'em....

>>> I am sure that our Apollo/Mentor *experts* here don't know that
    this group exists.... I'll try to get some of them to tune into
    this channel once in awhile...
