Subject: help needed reading EXXON system disks

Hi netters,

I need some help in converting several disks (hopefully the files on them)
into any PC format. The problem is, that I don't know how to read the disks.
The system they where written with is called 'EXXON office system'. That's
labeled on the disks, and, as I was told, stood on the hardware too. At least
EXXON. 
These machines are already out of work for some years, and I assume they 
are at least 10 years old.
First try in my AT-clone 5,25" drive failed, of course. From the age I 
suspected some CP/M format. So I organized an CP/M reading software from
SYDEX, but no luck with all the 190+ different formats.

Does anyone know this system? Does anyone know how to read the disks (5,25",
DSDD, 96tpi) with an AT-floppy/controller?

Please e-mail me, or post in comp.os.msdos.apps.

Thanks in advance
    Ruediger
