I have upgraded recently my system to a C128+1571+1581 drives. For this
last one I have only the disk supplied by Commodore. I intend to move
most of my 5.25 floppies to the new format, but I would need certainly
something much better than UNI-COPY. I would be happy to learn about co-
mercial and/or public domain software. Also utilities like a DOS-shell
adapted for this drive would be very wellcome (even paper listing).
   I also have a 1764 REU from my days of the C64. I wonder if it is
possible to "upgrade" it to a 1750 without much problems. I already opened
it and noticed 8 nice gaps where to add the chips and a "switch" to enable
them. Is it necessary something else?? By the way, the users guide is in
german. May I arrange with somebody to get the english version?
   I will post a summary of all the answers for the benefit of others.
