I don't think so.  If it helps, here's the first few lines of the
"directory":

There are no other tables on disk. The disk itself is hard-sectored,
with a sector length of 150 bytes and 16 sectors per track.  They're
interleaved 3:1 and grouped into blocks of 1200 bytes.  The directory
would correspond to block 0 and there are 72 entries in it, less the header.

I can get the raw text, but how it's linked together and what file names
might is still a mystery.
