The book saays that Commodore cp/m 3.0 supports
several formats:
Commodore SS GCR (the standard C=64 format)
C-128 cp/m plus format (single sided)
Commodore DS GCR format
MFM disk formats:
Epson QX10, IBM-8 SS, IBM-8 DS, KayPor II,KayPro IV, and Osborne DD
I am not sure of which format is used for the system disk. I presume it is
commodre SS GCR, so it is compatible with any drive. Nothing further is
mentioned in my Programmers Reference Guide.
No, actually, I think it's the DS GCR format because you need a 1571 to
boot C128 CP/M. I don't think it can be booted from a 1541, which can only
read the SS format.
