Hello,

I've got a problem with CP/M diskettes. Somebody gave me a set of CP/M
diskettes (presumably from a Tandy 3000 or so), and asked me to try to
copy the text files that are on them to a MS-DOS diskette. I know of a
program called UNIFORM to temporarily change the drive parameters but
the real trouble is that the CP/M floppy's have 96 tracks. 
Without a 96T drive I can only think of one way to solve the problem,
connecting the printer port of the CP/M system to a PC and then print 
the files, capturing them on the PC's side with a communication program 
like Mirror or Procomm. This seems to be a very time consuming solution,
and I am not sure that it would work (not mentionning that I don't have 
a CP/M computer at my disposition).

Any help, please?
