It might have the same copy protection as Muse's Address Book program
which has altered address fields from D5 AA 96 to D5 DA 96 and data field
headers changed from D5 AA AD to D5 DA AD, as well as the nibble translate
table changed to AA and the byte translate table changed to 23.  If you
have Trax you can check for the address changes.  If it looks like it has
this protection scheme it can be deprotected, which would probably make
the data recovery/transfer a lot easier.
