My experience with CC conversion for Fox Home Video was that the WGBH
system was used for closed-captioning on the early stuff.   IIRC, the
systems used were Zilog MCZ with custom software.  (132 byte
hard-sectored floppies).   I also did some 5.25" stuff from a later time
but I don't recall the details, just that it was different--but
generally followed the FCC standard.
