Subject: Rair Black Box disk format?

I am trying to fish some text files off 5 1/4 inch CPM disks in order to
put them on an msdos machine. Unfortunately, the CPM machine is a
specially obscure one: an ancient ICL PC which I believe was a Rair
Black Box in disguise. I have various programs which do this kind of
thing, but of course none of them mention Rairs (or ICLs). Does anyone
know if the format used by Rairs corresponds to that on a less obscure
machine?

I can tell from the disks that they are DS/DD 48 tpi soft sectored, but
even then that leaves an awful lot of possibles. If anybody has any
clues, please email them to me.
