A question for Chuck, Fred and anyone else with
relevant
experience/knowledge: can OSI disks (specifically Challenger 4P disks) be
read by a PC and imaged/recreated ? If so, how? If not, why not?
Don't see 'em in either 22disk or Xenocopy, but then they're not CP/M.
It's a question from a third party and I don't have any disks or I'd try
some imaging programs myself.
In XenoCopy, I did a few other formats besides CP/M, such as P-System,
"Stand-Alone-BASIC", Coco, etc.
But, ONLY ones that could be done with PC hardware.
Alas, for the OSI, you will need to build some hardware to read them.
I do NOT know the details, but I've heard that that hardware can be built
around a UART!
