   AB>     I probably have some spare floppies if you need them.   
   AB> Are you able to boot it into CP/M-80?   
       Unfortuantly, the C128's are in Louisiana at the moment.    
     But, the last time I used it, yes it booted into CP/M-80   
     and everything worked.  I've seen some mods around that'd   
     allow you to make a hard drive for the Commodore 64/128.   
     It'd be interesting to get a Terrabyte drive to put in   
     one of those units.  The only problem is, the method of   
     changing directories and partitions... You'd probably   
     be not using but a small percentage of the hard drive.   
     Even if you could access all the drive, a 40gig would   
     probably be more than enough for everything you can    
     find for the commodore!  Setup a partition with every   
     disk image for Commodore 64, 128, CP/M-80, and Vic-20   
     you can find... Then setup a catalog of what everything   
     is... Then write a program do a kiosk like setup, where   
     you just select the image, put the disk in the drive,   
     and it makes a copy of that image onto the floppy...   
     It'd be a neat use sorta....
