Subject: CP/M to PC-DOS floppy software

I'd like to move files between a Kaypro II and a PC-AT system. I have
only SSDD drives currently, although I am led to believe that PC-DOS
will read SSDD disks. Is this true?

I have an old UNIFORM and MFDISK; of course neither handle PC-DOS. I
understand that the current UNIFORM does. Can anyone comment on their
experiences with the product used for this purpose?

I am planning to try the Micro-Cornucopia PRO-8 upgrade with a pair of
Mitsubishi DSQD drives (see M-C Dec.84/Jan.85). How does this work with
UNIFORM? Or will it? I'd like to still be able to use these drives to
write DSDD disks for the standard 360K PC-DOS format. I'd also like to
able to use these drives to write SSDD disks to communicate with a MD2
(unless I can figure how to upgrade that to DSDD). Is this possible, or
will I have to retain a DSDD drive and SSDD drive respectively. I gather
that the DSDD drive can write SSDD just fine (sales lit. for UNIFORM).
The question is whether the 80 tpi drive (QD) can write/read (of course)
the 40 tpi disks?

Comments? Experiences? Help?

Thank you.
