I remember some of those, too, and in fact had some
in the files section of
my bbs. But I also remember stuff that would deal with "foreign" formats,
in particular there was "Media Master" and "Uniform". The former was
simply
a file transfer program, while the latter would actually "mount" a foreign
format disk under an otherwise unused drive letter, both of which I had
occasion to use under CP/M. I'm pretty sure that at least MM was available
under DOS as well, dunno about Uniform.
I have MS-DOS versions of Media Master and Uniform, if anyone is interested in a copy. As
I remember Media Master, it would let you set up a drive as the foreign type, to
read/write/format a disk (except you could not format a Kaypro and one other type using
MM).
