Hello
sorry it's O/T - I am seeking a Macintosh IIcx chassis - preferably a
working one ... (I need the physical machine unfortunately...) and I know a
few list folk, ahem... have been known to hang on to such things
here's hoping....

Anyone got the slightest clue how I can now read a collection of 8"
floppies I have from the late-70s/early-80s; formatted under TEC-DOS (a
close relative of a 6809 DOS of the day) ?
Preferably on a network which will allow me to transfer the data on them
over to a modern memory stick.
Or even know of somewhere there's a machine capable of reading them ?
Thanks in advance,

I'll ask him.?

If John H. can't help you then the national computing museum is probably
your best bet. After that you're on to international computing museums
and I suspect there will be a few very expensive data retrieval firms.
Hmmm... there was a retro computing list who had a rule about nothing
created in the last 10 years -- John : what was their name?
If all that fails then some kind of magnetic scanning device and reverse
engineering the encoding, ala:

Your best could ask on either:
The Vintage Computer Forum:
http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/forum.php
or The Classic Computer mailing list, cctech:
http://www.classiccmp.org/cctech.html
The first is a particularly friendly place, where I'm sure there are
people who could point you in the right direction.
Best Wishes
Lorry
