But all things are possible, so you should contact the manufacturer of UNIFORM and flat-out ask them that question. In any case, I've modified RDMS233 to enable it to read (read only!) MSDOS format diskettes on the C128 under CP/M+ with a 1571 drive. I've also written another utility, UNIDRIVE, which currently allows the C128 CP/M to read or write any of 24 different CP/M diskette formats (but not MSDOS). Neither program will "format" a diskette. The appropriate files on SIMTEL20 are: PD:RDMS233C.LBR PD:UNIDRIVE.LBR Sincerely, Frank Prindle Prindle@NADC.arpa
