Hi Michael

Disc 1 is the only disc containing the CP/M OS and as such side 0 of 
the disc is in 80 Track, single density DFS format.  The remaining six 
contain many of the applicaion program files and they are double 
sided, 80 track, single density Acorn CP/M format.

The ABC 100 and 110 can also use double density formatted discs but to 
my knowledge nobody has any copies.  The boot ROM on the Z80 board 
fitted to these machines is different to that fitted on the Z80 second 
Processor in order to be able to load CP/M from a Winchester drive, an 
ADFS floppy as well as the standard single density Acorn CP/M format 
discs.

If anyone knows someone who has a copy of the ADFS type CP/M discs 
there are a number of us who would like copies please.
