There is a card that you can buy from MicroSolutions (same people who make
the UniDos Z80 card that has been discussed here recently) that will allow
an XT or AT to format, read, and write NorthStar hard-sector-format CP/M
diskettes.  I assume that these are the same diskettes as those for what you
refer to as NorthStar DOS.  If you have only a small number of diskettes, I
would be willing to have you send them to me, and I would convert them to
some other standard format (such as MS-DOS 360K or 1.2M 5").  There would be
a few simple conditions, so check with me first.  If you still have the
NorthStar machine, I do have a version of MDM727 (MODEM7) for it -- that's
how I used to get files to and from that machine.
