I just found the thread a few days ago, it looks like it lived and died in 1998? - but I'm hoping there's still life out there. I need to transfer cpm floppies to dos, hardsectored unfortuntely to dos soft-sectored, otherwise there is software I could use. I have ten years of work on cpm which I can't access, and being financially challenged I can't hire someone to do it. What I need is a northstar horizon that reads hardsectored 5.5" floppies, which I could borrow or buy at a low price. Thanks for any help you can give, -Ron
