 The answer is maybe - With a C128 & 1571 you can read and write text files
 between MS-DOS and CBM disks (1541 or 1571 format). The special utility for
 doing this is called "Super Sweep 128" and was run in the MARCH 1987 issue
 of Commodore Magazine. So if you have access to a 128 & 1571, along with a
 copy of the March issue - the answer is yes!
