And just to keep this post rolling...


Has anyone had any luck turning the various D64 CP/M disks found on the web back to readable disks?  I've tried CP, as well as D128it, going from D64 image to unformatted disk on 1571, CBM-DOS formatted disk on 1571, and CP/M SS 1541 formatted disk in the 1571.  Date is being written, but the disks won't boot and neither CBM-DOS or CP/M can read the disks.


All of this to get copies of the May 1987 version of the CP/M disks...


Anyone know of a good way to recreate these disks from the D64 images?


Thanks,

I finally got this to work with Crosslink2.1, once I got my 80-col problem solved.  It worked well and I now have successfully moved Nevada FORTRAN to the CP/M side of my 128!  Crosslink can't autodetect a 1581, but it worked fine as long as I told it the 1581 was a 1571...  So that is another path that we're pretty sure works. I'm going to try Juggler and BBR128 next to see what they can do as well. 


Of course that leads me to the problem of... Anybody know of a good way to make a D64 back to a real files on a 128?  The version of ImageCre that I downloaded won't function, nor a couple of others.  Anyone got a good PRG file that will do this?


Matt

Some great ideas.  Thanks!  Unfortunately, just moving the files to a 1571 won't work as in CP/M mode, the 128 cannot read a CBM formatted disk.  I need a translation program that can write a MFM disk from 128 mode.


Hershey, I would love to know where you found that article for altering CP/M 3.0 to work with the 1581.  That's my next task after I get this CP/M software over the hump.

Hey guys,


I have looked all over for the answer to this and have tried many solutions, all of which have failed.  Here is the basic question...


How can I transfer a file from a CBM disk to a CP/M disk.  I have downloaded some CP/M software off of the internet and got it onto a 1581, but in CBM format.  I have tried Little Red Reader to move it over, as suggested in a FAQ I found, but no joy.  I have heard that crosslink would work, but it needs a 80col screen and I am currently stuck in 40col land. 


So anyone know of a good way to transfer a file from a CBM 1581 disk to a CP/M 1571 disk?  Or if no way to do it on the C128, anyone know of an Amiga, PC or Mac solution?  I have a 5.25 amiga drive but I don't know of any software that would write CP/M from Amiga.


Thanks,


Matt
