Hi,
I am in the process of trying to image some old mid-80s Cromemco CDOS and Cromix floppies for my father. Back in the late 80s we used a program called Xenodisk to copy disks on an XT class PC. Unfortunately whilst I still have the PC the floppy with Xenodisk on has worn to the point it is transparent. I have some experience in using Dave Dunfield's ImageDisk software to image MSDOS format floppies but it doesn't like the Cromemco disks out of the box.
Does anyone know of an effective way to image these old disks using ImageDisk?
For reasons that have been lost to time some (not all) of the disks have a write protect sticker over the index sector hole. Anyone remember what that was for?
thanks,
Dave
