Hi,

I tried making 5,25" floppy disk dumps using DOS Anadisk and Teledisk
software.
When opening with hex editor, I can see some text, so they are not empty. I know they are from a ZX-Spectrum clone.
How can I open them or be sure the dumps are working?

I think they are CP/M floppies, because of the hand-writing on one of them
and CP/M mention in the code of the dumps.
I have no experience with ZX-Spectrums or CP/M.

Thanks!

Actually you can, according to the RFC, but generally speaking they are discouraged (e.g. within uk.* anything remotely like a "binary" is a no-no) so it is likely that the site you posted it through cut it out.

Can anybody check if the dumps are correct?
