Well... Exist another option: I could send the diskettes to someone who
could try to read them with more resources than me.
I shall do the scan work with the manuals. I have too one set for the Xenix
8086 (including development manuals) for the IBM PC waiting, together with
some similar for the ITT PC.
This is a lot of pages and I was waiting until christmas, when I plan to
purchase one new multifunction printer/scanner/fax to substitute my
relatively old Deskjet.

This is unfortunate. I will keep my fingers crossed.

But I'm not optimistic.
