Since NorthStar used hard sector disks (10 sector), you will have
little chance of reading this on any PC disk drive.  I transferred
my old NorthStar CP/M files to my PC using the old MODEM program and
a direct cable.  Getting NorthStar DOS files uploaded would be
trickier.  Probably the best bet is finding a DOS -> CP/M 
file converted and then doing the above MODEM transfer.
