Piccolo and Piccoline disks

A very long time ago I spent a lot of time with the Piccolo (RC702 and the trusty RC701B) and Piccoline systems from the Danish computer producer Regnecentralen which ran CP/M-80 and CCP/M-86 respectively.

Not SO many years ago I played with reading the old Piccolo and Piccoline 5.25" diskettes from MS-DOS using the 22DISK program from SYDEX ()

Yesteday I found the old files and decided to share my results from back then (but unverified as I do not have a 5.25" drive hooked up).
The following definitions worked with version 1.40 of SYDEX:


BEGIN R702 Rc702 Piccolo - SSDD 48 tpi 5.25"

END

Hopefully this may help some computer archeologist some day :)
