1. LarKen Disk files

Recently aquired a LarKen disk drive system for my TS2068, and it
uses 3.5" disks. I'd like to be able to read and copy those files
on MS DOS or even Linux (I use both). Do any of you know of a
LarKen DOS emulator out there for Windows or MS DOS?

I wrote a tiny ASM program for MS-DOS to read Larken disks, some years
ago; but it's hardwired to handle only single-sided, 5.25" disks, since
that's what I had in my Larken system at the time. I've been meaning to
clean it up and post it, but I haven't got around to it yet.
My main computer is broken right now, but I'll see if I can find a copy of
the program later.
