>>>> 30 cp/m machines .. ICL Quadra
I assume that you mean ICL Quattro. These run CDOS 4.1 or 5.1.
(very early machines had CCP/M 3.1S). You can write DOS 360Kb
discettes on these machines as long as they are configured to
have 'PC-Node' included. Format some 360Kbs on an IBM AT 1.2
meg drive (FORMAT A: /4 on the IBM).
Set the Quattro to use 360Kb discettes:
OPTION B:=IBM9
It may say 'read only' but they write OK. If it won't do this
run CONFIG, set PC-MODE on and rebuild system. Reboot and try
again.
PC-ALIEN from FBN-Software in Australia can read native Quattro
discettes (it has them as ICL Model 35/36 DS 96 TPI).
I can send you Kermit or Modem7 for Quattro if you wish, send me
a snail-mail address (postal address) and I'll send a disc.
