I have several 5 1/4" *hard-sectored* floppy disks. These are in some
proprietary format, they are read by a controller that consists of a Z80
CPU, an EPROM, and some TTL chips. All this thing does is read the
entire contents of the disk, outputting the data in parallel format over
a ribbon cable. This is used to load CPU microcode into static RAMS.
I want to be able to read the data from the disks, as I no longer have
the controller/drive (or the mainframe it came from.)
Any ideas?
