Hi

A friend of mine has got a Commodore 128 with a 1570 and a 1571 Floppy.
He wants to make the Floppy read IBM-PC-360K-Diskettes. 
There is a special command for the 1570/1 called Query Disk Format, which
should be placed into the RAM of the 1570/1.

He experimented with the Memory-Write and the Memory-Execute Commands to
place and run the binary code of the Query Disk Format command, but till
now it didn't work.

Is there anybody on the net with experience in this topic or anybody who
knows about some Software to make a 1570/1 read 360K-Diskettes?

Please send a mail to me or phone me (I call back).

Thanks in advance

Kai Rannenberg
