Hello, all:
What's the best way to read N* DSDD CPM disks on a PeeCee? I downloaded
22disk from Sydex, but the configuration file that lists the supported CPM
types does not list Northstar. Maybe it's supported in the full version of
22disk. Anyone know?

Since Northstar disks are 10 sector, hard sectored floppies, I don't think
you will be able to read them on the PC. When I have to transfer data, I
fire up the NS with a comm program, do the same on the PC, and then just
do a serial transfer. Good luck!

Rich,
The only way that I am aware of to read N* CP/M disks on a PC is if you
have two MicroSolutions products. Specifically, their no longer produced
MatchPoint Card and an appropriate version of UniForm software.
"Appropriate" equals a version that recognizes the card. That
combination will read only the CP/M disks, *not* the NSDOS.
I have such a setup, if reading your disks is important.
