Japanese DOS Conversion

mchristisen · 09-20-2004, 06:53 AM

Hi, we have a machine that runs on Japanese DOS (J-DOS) 3.30 or somewhere around there. Does anybody know how I can convert J-DOS files to regular ole DOS? Or not even convert, just be able to read them? I have searched the net and have come up with no leads. Floppy disks with j-dos files show up as unformatted disks when loaded into a windows machine. Thanks for your time.

Nevermind. I was not properly formatting the disks before saving the files. I can access them fine from a windows machine.

Hi
I thought you might know some stuff about Japanese Dos that you might can help. Does your machine work?
