Piergiorgio. > Wow - 3 *months* to reverse-engineer the CP/M disk format? That doesn't say much for the technical competency of the DriveSavers crew. They had the machine that created the disks right in front of them!!! So what if it didn't power up - forgetting the fact that restoring the machine to operation was probably no more difficult than replacing a few caps, all they had to do was pull the CP/M boot ROM, read it, and they would have had the disk format details right there in front of them in under an hour. Still too hard? Sit down in front of their Windoze laptop with a cup of coffee and surf around the many online computer museums until they find a matching picture of the machine in question. I guess that's the limit of today's 'technical' expertise.
