   There are PD programs to copy from a CBM format disk to a C128 CP/M
format disk, and terminals that download directly to C128 CP/M format disks
from C128 mode.
 
   However, I suggest you get a hold of a terminal program like IMP 
or MEX that runs in CP/M mode and download files direct to your CP/M disks.
The CP/M in the C128 is preprogrammed to read KayPro IV, Osborne 1, and
Epson QX-10 disks, so you can use disks intended for these computers to get
the CP/M terminal program up & running on your 128.
 
   About the largest remaining collection of CP/M disks in North America 
is that kept by Canada Remote Systems. Write or call them at:
 
4198 Dundas Street West
Suite 311
Toronto, Ontario CANADA
M8X 1Y6
 
(416) 231-2883
(800) 387-1901
(800) 268-2705
 
   I'm not sure if the 800 lines work from the States.
 
   Tell the nice folks at CRS that you have a C128 and they'll be happy 
to sign you up as a CP/M member and send you MEX, configured for the 128 and
on a KayPro IV disk.
