Subj: PIC-DISK
Does anyone remember them? You know, the disk drive system (available for the Model 100 and the NEC PC8201) which essentially turned your machine into a CP/M computer. But, it also allowed you to transfer files into the "native" mode RAM storage of your machine as well (like FLOPPY.CO). I used to own one for the NEC a long time ago. Since then, I had my NEC stolen in a house robbery about six years ago. I'd had my NEC PC-8201 replaced by my insurance company with the NEC PC-8300, but the PIC-DISK was no longer available. So, I have several disks with software (for the native mode of my computer) which I'd like to extract, but I haven't been able to find anyone who has a PIC-DISK for the NEC (or even for the Model 100 for that matter), nor have I been able to find a different "CP/M" machine (with 360K 3.5" disk drive) that can read the format of these disks. Does *ANYONE* out there have any suggestions? Personal Integrated Computers, I believe, has gone out of business. Thanks for any help, Gary.
