The problem is not that the formats are different, but rather the IBM's floppy drives ?can't? be programmed to read alternate formats. The 1571/81 CAN be modified to read/write PC disks, since they aren't _dumb_ devices like PC floppies. They are computers in their own right. You can either get the x1541 cable thing, or use the 64 to read/write the PC formatted disks itself. (This is the route I've been using.) That is, if you HAVE a 1571 you can hook up, why not just hook it up to the 64. -JackLF #! rnews 1144 Path: pravda.aa.msen.com!news1.best.com!news.texas.net!news.kei.com!newsfeed. internetmci.com!in3.uu.net!01-newsfeed.univie.ac.at!news.cesnet.cz!voskovec. radio .cz!news.surfnet.nl!surfnet.nl!tuegate.tue.nl!toad.stack.urc.tue.nl! not-for-mail From: toine@stack.urc.tue.nl (Toine de Greef) Newsgroups: comp.sys.cbm Subject: Re: CBM 80xx Date: 6 Aug 1996 10:43:08 +0200 Organization: MCGV Stack, Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands.
