The CP/M diskette is actually single-sided. A double-sided drive like the 1571 cannot read both sides unless you flip the diskette over. This was done to favor users of the 128 who only have 1541 single-sided drive. You can PIP all the files over to a double- sided drive though. The CP/M you received in the mail contains a version date on the screen. August 1 is the current version. It fixes a number of bugs in the June 1 release including a keyboard scan bug that resulted in double characters being printed. There is actually a November 1 version that has not been mailed out yet. It contains the telecommunications output with support for the RS232 port. Commodore is in the middle of busy season and probably won't distribute the new system until after the holidays. Note, that you must send in your CP/M registration card to qualify for the free upgrade. PM
