Subject: Looking for disk formats

I have an NEC PC8801-A, and I belong to the Turbo User's Group.  They (and
Borland) do not support my machine's disk format.  So what I've been doing
is buying software in the Osborne format, and having a friend of mine, who
owns Unidos, convert to my format.  Recently, TUG dropped the Osborne
format, so now I'm ordering in the Kaypro format.  I did get a utility with
my machine that lets me re-configure my drives to anything that CP/M can be
configured for without special hardware.  This means that if I can get the
SPT, BSH, etc. and the 1st sector ID, Density, etc. for the Osborne and the
Kaypro, then I don't have to wait for a couple of months when my friend's
machine isn't busy on a day that I have free.  If anyone knows what the
formats are, or if there's a product for CP/M machines like Unidos, please
e-mail the information to me.  Thanks.
