The filter program to convert the 64/128 mode file into a CP/M format file takes a long time. There is a better way. There is a program by Mike McLawhorn called "CPMT12.BIN" on the CP/M SIG of Compuserve that is a compiled basic terminal program that runs in 128 mode, but allows you to download NEWSYS.COM to a 1571 directly in CP/M format in one fell swoop at 1200 baud. It works great, but be sure only to save it to a single sided formatted disk. This version also only works at 1200 baud. There is a non compiled version for 300 baud people.
