Tez,
If you can hook up an 8" drive to a PC (use John Wilson's FDADAP if you
want it simple--but you can also wire your own cable), you can use Dave
Dunfield's ImageDisk to do the job. No special hardware required, other
than a PC controller that can also handle FM encoding--there are
programs to test that. Panasonic tended to rely on standard modulation
(FM/MFM).
Should work on DOS just fine.
