Is there anyone that has the facilities to read IBM System/36 disks at the
filesystem level?
I have 5 disks from which I need to transfer the files. If someone can do
this for me I will pay in $$$ or trade items.
Please e-mail me directly. I will not get any replies to the list.

Are they in standard IBM format, i.e. volume header (VOL1) on sector 7,
directory entries (HDR1) beginning on sector 8, entry size 128 bytes,
EBCDIC?
(See my page at
http://computermuseum-stuttgart.de/dev/ibm_5110/technik/en/diskops.html
for a description)
If yes, I can read and write them (I did this for my 5110 disks). Another
way would be to create a disk dump (e.g. with AnaDisk) and copy the
relevant sectors into a new file.

We've got to have a standard terminology in this business. When Sellam
said "disks" I took it not to mean floppies or diskettes but "hard"
disks.
