[sebhc] RE: Scanning HDOS source listings

[Barry Watzman]

OCR on an assembly listing will probably be useless, and I have not been
doing it on any of the manuals that I have been scanning.

I have several systems here with working 8" drives, but only running CP/M.
Ironically, what I don't have, for now, is an MS-DOS system with 5.25"
drives, other than the Z-100 (which doesn't have 3.5" drives), so I have no
good way to get things from 5.25" to 3.5", even MS-DOS.

Yes, but you can reassemble them easily with the velo binder machine at any 
Kinko's.

I was thinking of something similar when I asked for the OCR's.  I was going

to to the other way, assemble and then compare the output with the release.

That way, once you get it fixed up, you have all the comments in the source 
already.

I might.  But I've input nearly every 5 1/4" floppy I have already and 
haven't seen it.  So if I do have it, it's almost certainly on 8" media and 
I don't yet have anything set up to read them with.

Hey, Pat .. "Got HDOS?"  :-)  How about Jim?

Cheers,
