Subject: Public Domain Program Multi-format CP/M 2.2

I have a 4 Mhz Z80 " Pulsar " SBC system (Australian Design and Manufacture)
which runs under CP/M 2.2 and uses Mitsubishi 8" and 5 1/4" (8" look-alike)
disc drives.

My system can currently format/read/write standard format, IBM-CP/M 256k as 
well as 1.2 Meg quad density discs. I am interested in finding public domain
or reasonably priced commercial software which will allow me to format/read/
write to a range of other disc formats such as IBM PC, Kapro, Osborne etc. I
realise that suitable programs probably exist in the SIGM, CPMUG and other 
Archives but would appreciate hearing from anyone who has had some experience
with their use in systems similar to mine. 

One of the 5 1/4" drives has the facility of being run at 300 rpm as well as
the standard 360 rpm and with the right software this should allow the system
to read and write to/from almost any disc format ? I would welcome any 
comments, laughter etc.
