I have a Lotus version for a DEC Rainbow 100 PC. I bought it brand new
a few years ago (yes it was still sealed) for a mere $15. I figured if
the software wasn't any good, I could still use an extra manual. Well
I still have these 5.25 disks and can't figure out what kind of format
these disks are in? CP/M program that determines which format a strange
disk is, comes up with nothing that helps except it is MFM format. MS-DOS
can sort of read the directory, as parts are scrambled. It won't touch
(load) any of the files though from MS-DOS. It could be that these
disks are MS-DOS, but the disks are bad, or this computer is some sort
of CP/M computer. Lotus for CP/M??? I never heard of that, have you?
Any ideas what a DEC Rainbow 100 PC really is? Thanks! <BW>
