The Zenith RDCPM.COM program that is distributed with the Z100 MSDOS (which
I assume is the same as the one that you have) will read several disk
formats, all of which are created by various versions of Heath/Zenith CP/M.
It will work for files created on the Z100 series as well as for the H89.
In answer to your specific question, the following is the Parameter
Block for a standard Zenith CP/M-86 5-1/4" floppy.

Other formats are available. If you desire them, message me and I
