5.25" Floppy disk drive not recognized

[Christoph Kukulies]

neither less or cat works. I cannot totally exclude that the media don’t fit.
The ones in questions here are CP/M 68k format. They are DD-DT.

But I won’t get at the problem over the weekend to eventually test other media from which I know they are definitely MSDOS.

OTOH, dd normally used to work on this kind of devices, didn’t it?

I’m getting doubts.
