Accessing DBLSPACE diskettes in XP

[Tarek]

Hey folks.

I have a few diskettes that have valuable information on
them that were written using DBLSPACE during the Win95
and Win98 days. I cannot access these disks now (at least
not the doublespaced portions of them).

Is there any thing I can do to get the files off these
diskettes?

Your help appreciated much.

You'll have to uncompress them on a machine which is running Win9X and
has the dblspace driver loaded. That's the only way.

Only possible with a Win98 or 95 machine - the needed driver was loaded
as a 16 bit real mode one, which XP does not permit, and AFAIK no-one
has ever written a 32 bit equivalent
