Subject: "Disk Maker" from New Generation Systems

I thought this might be of interest to anyone who wishes for some way
to read/write disks in as many CP/M disk formats as possible for the
least amount of money...Rick Rump, the author and distributor of "MicroShell",
has completed a hardware/software combination product that allows 5 1/4"
disks to be read and written in MANY different formats. The package will be
available in both S-100 plug-in and standalone configurations. The one I've
just ordered includes a controller, drive, cables and software for automatical-
ly making the drive act like any one of the soft-sectored formats, including
Osborne, KayPro, Xerox, TeleVideo, SuperBrain, etc. 
Such a device will be invaluable to me for making it possible to stuff
disks in all these formats without having to buy the machines they will be
used on. I suspect I am not alone in needing this ability! Exact prices
have not been finalized yet, but the S-100 plug-in version should be under
$1400 complete. For more info, contact:
