Hi Guys,
I've been asked to try and recover documents from some Hard Sectored
NorthStar diskettes - I'm told they were created with Advantage hardware.
I've succesfully made images of the disks using my NST utility (So I
know the disks are readable) ... however neither CP/M nor N* GDOS
recognizes the disks - all I get it "garbage" when attempting to list
the directory.
Examining the data on the disk, they do not appear to contain a
recognizable directory block. The all do however contain the string
"WordWizard 1.2.0 JUN 16 1983P"
at the same offset near the beginning of the disk.
I'm guessing that "WordWizard" is a word processing package which
maintains it's own disk structure, not using OS files.
So - I'm looking for information:
- Does anyone know what OS WordWizard ran under?
- Does anyone have a copy of WordWizard for N* systems?
- Any info about the disk structure used by this program?
Thanks,
Dave
