Subject: transport from ibm

In an article from William D. Jones:

WD>This may seem somewhat trivial to this group, but is there a way to
WD>transfer information to a commodore computer in cpm mode from an ibm
WD>compatible disk?  What exactly is kermit?

Sage Microsystems used to sell DOSDisk which ran on the Commodore C=128
with CP/M v3.0 and Z3Plus and reads/writes MS-DOS disks.  Also, Big
Blue Reader, runs in C=128 native mode and reads/writes CBM-CP/M & MS-DOS
disks.  BBR is advertised in recent RUN and Compute magazines.

There are also shareware/freeware products such as TRANS128, which run
in CP/M mode and read/write MS-DOS disks.

CAVEAT: For CP/M to MS-DOS transfers, these programs do not work with a 
C=1541 disk drive.  C=1571 or C=1581 disk drive required.  C=1541 is GCR
recording mode ONLY, C=1571 is GCR or MFM recording and C=1581 is MFM
recording.  MS-DOS disks are MFM recording.
