Thank you!
It takes a long time to load, but it's worth it.
Chapter 24 confirms that the physical disk format is 3740 or CP/M
type (8", 128 bytes per sector, 26 sectors per track), and provides
the details of the logical format and directory structure.
It should be possible to write the software to handle it on almost
machine (including PCs with appropriate hardware) that can handle
"standard" 8" CP/M.
It mentions a single sided and a double sided, which may provide
some trivial complications.
