The Integral computer uses AT&T Unix System III file system format.
I don't know about PC or Mac, but the HP series 300 machines (which
use the Berkeley file system) have programs to read and write those
disks:  bifchgrp, bifchmod, bifchown, bifcp, bifdf, biffind, biffsck,
biffsdb, bifll, bifls, bifmkdir, bifmkfs, bifrm, bifrmdir.
(Bif = Bell Interchange Format.)
