Description
I'm sorry but I have only a single .e file. The 'mne.io.read_raw_nicolet' function needs a '.data' and a '.head' files, but I don't really know what they are from. Can I have the only .e file as input and get the mne raw data objective?

Research direction
Start with mne.io.read_raw_nicolet and inspect how it currently handles the separate .data and .head files. Determine the structure of the single old-style .e file from the issue's header-plus-data description, then define support for using that file as input and returning MNE raw data. Confirm the behavior with a representative .e file if one is available.
