List:
I'm working with some old media that has Swedish text on it. (8" SS FM
disks with 4 sectors of 1024 bytes per track--no OS or file structure on
it).
I can probably figure out the structural details that I need with the
exception of modern Unicode or UTF-8 characters corresponding to what's
on the disk.
Here's a binary dump sample of such a record (LIST format):
FE 6F = ? (o with two dots above)
FA 61 = ? (a with a ring above)
The text, translated, goes:
<It/that was the curse>
<which drove us away from Samson>
It or that depending on the context.

Note
the characters FA and FE in this sample.
Can anyone help with this thing?
