Subject: Question about altos mp/m//cp/m

I am looking at purchasing and altos machine which has some software that
I am interested in.  The hard-disk (10 or 20 meg) boots mp/m which I guess 
is a multi-user cp/m.  It has an 8" floppy drive, and mp/m seems to read 
the mp/m (double density) floppies ok, but it can't read the single density 
cp/m floppies that have the software I am more interested in.  It's a 
leftover machine so the people getting rid of it don't know what it can do. 
Documentation is next to non-existent.

My question is this:  Is that 8" drive a dual density drive and do I need a 
single density cp/m boot floppy to get it started or what?

please reply directly to me at one of the following:
