Compaticard sold (sells?) and it will let you read all kinds of odd formats.
SOLD, NOT sells. MicroSolutions no longer supports Uniform. There are
fewer and fewer people there that even remember it. Their booth bimbos at
trade shows "never heard of it".
There is no profit nor income left in disk format conversion
software. But there is an enormous tech support obligation remaining for
those responsible enough to care.
"all kinds of odd formats"?? Uniform handled a lot of CP/M and MS-DOS
formats (almost as many as we did), but NEVER did anything other than CP/M
or MS-DOS - their driver model made it unfeasable to add any other file
system types.
