Subject: VT180 Robin users?

  I've had a DEC Robin (VT100 with 4MHz Z80 CPM system built in) for several
years, using it mostly for communications.  Recently, I've gotten into moving
around graphics files, and the 170K floppies are becoming a problem.
  I have a file (by Bernie Eiben, I think) describing how to get the 'side
select' bit from the floppy controler chip, to use with double sided disks.
I know several years ago there were peoople using 96 TPI drives with the
Robin.
  What I don't know is where to get software to format the DSDD, DSQD or even
SSQD disks once the hardware mods are made.  I understand ZCPR2 or 3 supported
them, but looking thru the directories on RPIECS and NDSUVM1 I haven't found
what I need.
  Anybody out there still using the Robin with upgraded floppies, or know where
to get info about it?

  Thanks!      Tom Crone  CRONE@CUA on Bitnet
