My first need is for an Osborne formatted disc. I know that 22Disk can read
these disks on my PC, so I guess it could read the boot tracks also but that
is not one of the capabilities of 22Disk.
I'll look into TeleDisk and see if that will do the trick.
Thanks

Sounds like what you need is teledisk. It reads
the disk in a bitwise
process an saves the image as a file that can be used to recreate the
original disk. You can get it at
ftp://ftp.rainingdata.com/freeware/teledisk.zip All you need is a drive
that's compatable with the original disk(s).
good suggestion
but you need a DISK CONTROLLER that is compatible, NOT JUST DRIVE. For
example, Amiga (MFM, but without WD sector headers) and some Commodore 64
formats (GCR) can use very "ordinary" disk drives, but their disk
controllers are different enough that Teledisk can't go near 'em.
