IBM produced an IBM PC program called DisplayWrite (DW
IV was the
last version, IIRC.) This allowed document interchangability with
other IBM platforms, including the DisplayWriter and 5520. It was
NOT a method to make the DisplayWriter DOS compatible, however. It
let the PC act like a DisplayWriter, and produced format compatible
documents. Sadly, I think this must be what you read about. I
suppose a retro-fit kit to make the DisplayWriter PC compatible, but
I've not heard of it. If you find anything like this, let us know...
How did people transfer files from the 8" disks into the PC? Are the
disks DOS format?
