I need to translate some lecture notes from lexitron written floppies
into a format that I can read on an IBM PC.  The controller on the PC
(NEC 765) does not seem to recognize the physical formatting on these
disks.  A copy ii pc board reads them but shows garbage on the screen.
Maybe by shifting the output I can get the text.
	 Any help in understanding the physical and/or formatting of the 
Lexitron diskettes would be very much appreciated.
				Thanks in advance,
				Prof. Le Baron O. Ferguson
