There is a program called Uniform from Micro Solutions, Inc. (Lord knows
if they're still in business) which is commercial and an excellent 
disk format xlater for CP/M machines.  You must have the version written
for your machine.  It will both copy and format to a large variety of other
CP/M disk formats.  You can also find a friend with a MS-DOS machine and 
use an excellent DOS program called 22DISK (v 12 is current) to read and
write CP/M formats via a DOS machine.  We have 22DISK and MFDISK available
on the Kaypro Club of Austin BBS here.  I'm not sure if they are up, but
if you look and don't find them, leave a msg and they can be posted.
