On a positive note it looks like the Perq T2 units used either the ST506
or ST412 drives, so those *might* have Perq data as I don't think Bob
ever had a Pro/350. Then again could be rainbows, is there a PERQ
emulator out on the web or does anyone know what a Perq disk would look
like?
David's MFM emulator knows how to decode PERQ hard drive images, if you use
the "--analyze" option to "mfm_read" it should pick it up. I have a
hacky
utility that can extract files from disk images, if they're in POS format.
As for emulators, yes, the one I wrote ages ago, but it doesn't emulate the
T2, as much as I keep hoping to get back to it and make that happen...
