For Northstar/DOS transfers you may be interested in a board put out
by the people who market UNIFORM--it fits in the PC and lets you read
Northstar CP/M diskettes in the PC drives.  It doesn't help if your
diskettes are in the Northstar DOS format, but otherwise it's incredibly
convenient.  I think it runs for about $200, which is a bit expensive.,
On the other hand, you can read/write/format the Northstar diskettes on
the PC, and as an added bonus, if you just want to work with the Northstar
data while your Northstar is doing something else, you don't even have to
transfer the data--the UNIFORM program will allow you to treat the Northstar
diskette as a PC diskette.  As an added bonus, the board also reads several
Apple II formats (including Apple CP/M).
