How many disks
do you have?
One CP/M disk.
Single- or double-sided? Did you look on side two? I have a whole mess of
utilities on the second side.
The Commodore
CP/M format is actually GCR -- the 1571 just can read MFM
formats as well, but it's natively GCR actually (so that the 1541 can be
used to boot C128 CP/M too).
Hmm, are you sure that's not the C64 with CP/M
cartridge only, and the C128 is actually true
MFM-capable? That's what I've read on the web somewhere.
Ah, misunderstanding. I thought you wanted to get the *Commodore* CP/M disks,
which are actually GCR, but you're really after CP/M software :-)
Yes, the C128 (with a 1571) can read MFM formats, but as you observe,
My C128 manual recommends you purchase CP/M
software formatted for various Kaypro and
Osborne machines, which are obviously MFM.
... Kaypro and Osbourne are more or less "specifically" supported.
