1581 drive
----------
I have noticed that there is a new Commodore 1581 3.5" disk drive.
Apparently, its capacity is on the order of 800K.  Does anybody know
anything more about this drive?  Is it a 'fast' drive (1571-like)?

Copying disks 
-------------
It seems that the 'COPY' command for the C128 will not copy from drive
to drive.  In fact, the Programmer's Reference Guide claims it can't
be done (???).  The 'BACKUP' command only works on a dual drive.  So
what do you do if you have two single drives and want to copy all files
from one to the other?
