-
- 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.
