Question for Mastodon: I have a bunch of CP/M 5.25 floppy disks that I want to "liberate" a bunch of Z80 code I did as a kid (the world needs to see my Space Invaders clone). Any ideas of a simple/easy to get read them? My CP/M machine is long gone. Tracking down old CP/M machines is outside the scope of easy.
