CP/M disks, - if they're soft sectored - are just about the easiest non PC DOS format to image assuming you have the right set up. It takes me 20 seconds per disk with Dunfield's utility.
I use a DBIT 50/34 pin adapter to convert a the 8" 50pin disk cable to a 34-pin 5 1/4" cable. With this adapter- it's super fast. You want a DD 8" drive like the 850, but if you created the disks on an 801 you should be able to use it to image the disks to the modern PC. DBIT: Source for 8" drive adapter to work on a newer drive controller: http://www.dbit.com/fdadap.html If you want, send the disks to me as I have everything set up here. Contact me directly if you need assistance. Every vintage computerian ideally should have some sort of disk imaging station set up but if you don't I or others here with such systems are probably happy to help. -- -Bill-
