I recently purchased a 1581 drive and enclosed within was a mail-in card for
an upgrade to the latest version of CPM 3.0. It says that it will cost me
$19.95 (US) to get it. I was wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade
to the newest version? And does CBM supply the upgrade any more? (since
the 128 has been discontinued...) This one is supplied on a 3.5" disk.

I have tried the old version (came with 128) and I find that I don't have
enough room on a 1541 to do anything. I know that there is a lot of CPM
software available, but I have no idea how to copy a file from normal dos
format to CPM format. Once I download the software how do I get it over
on the CPM disk? 

I would love to learn how to use CPM and would really like to take 
advantage of my 1581 (to read IBM/CPM disks + extra storage).

Thanks,
Roger.
