I have obtained [legally] some software on 8 inch floppies (3740 format)
for my PC.  Now, I'm getting some 8" drives, but apparently the
software needed to run these drives is a scarce beast (according to
my local hardware dealer).  This seems hard to believe, since
the drives are being produced and I have 8" floppies in hand.
Am I missing something, or does CPM have this built-in (and I
only need special software for PC-DOS)????  I've checked with
the Xenocopy people, and they may have something on the market
in a few weeks to do this, but ...  Any insight would be
appreciated.
Thanx
