Caution that disk is a special a][ - CP/M format.
With it
and a comm program (with Kermit)
and a serial cable
and a CP/M machine
you could transfer CP/M programs.
Also CP/M is old there still might be copyrights on SW.
There was also some A][ program that could read/transfer between
A][, Pascal UCSD and A][-CP/M disk format.
Hope I now have enough lines to be able to reply now ;-)
