Thanks for bringing this up.  It reached me just in time, as i'd been
considering getting a C128 as a cheap spare CP/M engine.  From the data
you've provided, i have to wonder whether you are running anything that
requires bank switching?  Is that when the files show up corrupted?

I think i'll forgo the 128 and put a little more money into a machine
actually made to do the job.
