If you've got a cable, just use ADT and transfer one of the
Dos 3.3 master images from the net. Standard disks are 35
tracks but many publishers used non-standard formats, thus
.NIB files were used to store them. .PO is a slightly different
format (supposed to be anyway) from .DSK where .DSK is
considered to be the standard. You will find mostly the .dsk
images on the net.
