Jon: I take it from the phrasing of your comment that you have tried and failed.
The only reason I can think of for this is the fact that CP/M uses a special
format, available on the 1571 automatically and fakable for the 1541, but
both of those are still 5.25 drives.  CP/M simply isn't set up, to my knowledge,
to handle a 1581 with its 3.5 disks.
