In order to transfer data from a Displawriter to another system
(i.e. a PC) you need special hardware.  IBM used to sell a connectivity
kit that links a PC and a Displaywriter together.  I don't remember
the price.  Another way is to have a Conversion company do tthe transfer.
They can be costly.  I have a setup at home to transfer most 8" formats
to IBM format.  I can also cut Mac disks on my PC.  If the files are
put in Revisable Format on the Displaywriter, I would be willing to 
transfer the files to IBM format for $15 a disk or to Mac for $20 
a disk.  If a document conversion is needed from Revisable Form to
ASCII on the Mac or any other supported format add $10 per disk.

My home phone number is 602-774-1755.
