A lot of this depends on what machines you have. If your CP/M machine is a
Kaypro, Osborne, or one of a number of other machines, programs exist to
let the CP/M machine write and copy to nad from MS-DOS diskettes. On the
Kaypro I have COMPAT by Mycroft labs, and it works fine. You might still
be able to find copies. I think UNIFORM also works.
On the MS-DOS end there are also programs to read CP/M diskettes,
but I can't think of the name of one, offhand. Even these programs will
only read certian formats though, so without knowing what kind of computer
you have I can't be of any futher help. Good luck! (You might end up
finding it simpler to put a serial port on the MS-DOS computer just for
this purpose, it may be cheaper, and simpler in the long run...)
