Subject: re: Will C128 CP/M run Uniform software?
Due to the design of the C128 BIOS and the 1571 disk drive, I seriously doubt
it will be able to run any generic version of UNIFORM (Fred Bowen, any thoughts
on this?). But all things are possible, so you should contact the manufacturer
of UNIFORM and flat-out ask them that question. In any case, I've modified
RDMS233 to enable it to read (read only!) MSDOS format diskettes on the C128
under CP/M+ with a 1571 drive. I've also written another utility, UNIDRIVE,
which currently allows the C128 CP/M to read or write any of 24 different CP/M
diskette formats (but not MSDOS). Neither program will "format" a diskette.
The appropriate files on SIMTEL20 are:
PD:<CPM.C128>RDMS233C.LBR
PD:<CPM.C128>UNIDRIVE.LBR
Sincerely,
Frank Prindle
