subject: Viewing data on old TRS-80 Color Computer floppies ..

Replying to a message of Sam Alexander to All:

 SA> Hello all,

 SA> I still have stacks of floppies (5.25") from my days of hacking around
 SA> on  the Tandy Color Computer 2 and 3, and I was wondering if there's
 SA> an app for  Linux that'll read these old floppies.  Just curious ..

 SA> Sam

The problem might be hooking up a 5.25" drive to a Linux box.  AFAIK, if
the disks are DOS (FAT) format Linux can read them, there are several
commands that start with the letter 'm' that handle DOS formatted floppies.
