From: "Jim Battle" <frustum(a)pacbell.net>
there are three disk formats that I would personally
find useful to be
able to
decode -- 8" Helios, 8" Wang 2200, and
5.25" Northstar. Guess what --
all three are hard sectored formats.
I just checked my format list, and guess what : I found Wang 2200, meaning
that the logical format of the Wang 2200 is known. The other ones I couldnt
find, but that does not mean that they cannot be read. I will probably be
able to take diskdumps. They might even be known under other names.
If could have a couple of disks, I would be happy to try it out

PS : nobody ever reacted on my idea of setting up a MSB. Not "most
significant bits", but "museum service bureau".
Am I that far off ?
