I've got a rather ancient 8" diskette
(hard-sectored; 32 sectors) with the
Harris Lanier brand on it.
It looks to be MFM with the usual n, 1.5n and 2n frequency distribution,
but I'm not getting much meaningful from digesting the bitstream.
Could it be a 6 or 7-bit character set ? I've seen some funny things,
especially in word processing. If the high order bit always is ON, you could
try to set it OFF. If you mail me a few K, I could have a look at it
