So let me get this straight. I have a 128D, with an
external 1541.
Assuming that the 6-pin DIN male-male cable that came with it is right,
I can format a DSDD floppy in the 1541, and read files from a 360k DOS
floppy to the Commodore-formatted disk.
The 1541 is single-sided. You will not be able to format it DSDD.
I have heard of MFM disk tools for Commodores (Big Blue Reader) but I
have never used one. I've always resorted to serial transfer between
Commies and PeeCees (that and archiving 1541/4040 disks with a 1541
and an X1541 cable over a PeeCee parallel port under DOS).
