Hi Kirk,

Do you have any fairlight .IMD files that you are willing to share? I ask because I am testing some software to open them?

Peter - You can use the CMIOS9 software that runs on PCs to get into the disk images.

Also, in case anyone is interested in disk imaging - I put together an 8" floppy drive and an old PC running WIN98SE/DOS for making disk images. I've written up the process for how I put it together and show it imaging some of the disks, both reading from and writing to the 8" floppy.

You can find it here:

Enjoy!
