There are programs for formating disks in MFM formats.  I haven't used them.

First, you need a 1571 for 5.25" disks.  Or, a 1581 for 3.5" disks.  The 1541
drive WON'T handle MFM disks.

There are serveral MFM formats built into CP/M on the C128.  There are also
programs for extending the list.  (I've never used them either.)  But once
you get or make an MFM disk, you can use PIP to transfer the files.
