Hello Rick -

I just had to pass the news along to you... I was able to find software for the
PC which, after it was properly configured, could read the PICdisks that I
haven't had access to for six years...  Of course, this "proper configuration"
of the software took no less than a day to work out, with the sector ordering,
sector size, number of sectors in an allocation unit, number of allocation
units, etc, etc..

But, I got it to work.  I even was able to load up my old NEC BBS program (yes,
I'd run a BBS off my NEC utilizing three 32K ram banks for about two years
before I got my first IBM-compatible).  Anyway, it was your original message
that prompted me to search the Web for a CP/M disk reader that was capable of
doing this.  Thanks!
