Subject: Transfer cp/m files to elsewhere

Sketch of the situation: there's about 30 cp/m machines
'round here -- ICL Quadra, with one 5 1/4" floppy
(no idea 'bout density) and a 10M hard disk. The stuff
on the hard disk needs to be transferred to a UNIX system.

                       ----

But how? There's a COM port on these machines, so if
some kind soul can provide KERMIT or so, we could download
the contents to the UNIX system directly. An alternative
is to find a way of reading floppies from these ICLs on
an MS DOS machine (if I can find one with a 5 1/4" drive)
and I can deal with further transfers myself.

Would 22DISK work? I've seen this mentioned several times
here, I'm sure I can dredge up an XT to read the floppies
with. However, I need to get said 22DISK, and that's
easier said than done (really?)

Can someone point me to, say, a European cp/m users group,
an ftp site for a program to read cp/m floppies. How
'bout vaguely useful hints? Could use them, too.

If you need more tech information about these ICL machines,
mail me and I'll look it up. EMail to adridg@sci.kun.nl.
