I stuck the disks I'm trying to recover data from

that the disks contain no files but I'm thinking there has to be something
wrong here.
The system disk is CP/M-86. I still don't know what format the disks in
question are but I assumed they were also CP/M-86.
Why?
What could be
amiss here, aside from the possibility that the disks ARE empty? What
utilities are available to me on the system disk to view a raw dump of the
target disks?
The APC cupported both CP/M-86 and MS-DOS. Later today I'll look up some
specs to try to predict what the CP/M-86 would see on the MS-DOS format.
I can't believe after all this effort that these
damn disks contain nothing.
Happens all the time. People often send the wrong diskettes.
