   My brother recently bought a Commodore 128.  He messing around with
CP/M and is having a little trouble with it.  It seems that there was a
CP/M disk included with his computer.  It has a bunch of useful programs
on it.  Some on side 1 and the rest on side 2, every time he wants to
change the date or use the functions that are not on the boot side of the
disk he has to flip the disk.  This doesn't make any sense to me because
I understood that the 1571 disk drive has to heads.  Shouldn't the disk
drive be able to access both sides of the disk without having to flip
the disk.  I am not too familiar with the C-128 so any information on
this dilemma would be greatly appreciated.

				    Thanks,
                                 Jeff Struven
