[comp.sys.apple] Information on Apple II disk formats

U267105@HNYKUN11.BITNET (Jos Grote Punt) (02/16/88)

Sometime ago I posted a request for info on Apple II disk formats. There were
three people who answered it. But unfortunately I lost the addresses of them.
They told me about a book with a title, something like "Beneath Apple DOS".I'm
but a poor student, so this book is too expensive for me.
The reason why I'm interested in reading Apple II disks on the Commodore 1541
disk drive is for CP/M. I own a CP/M module, and it works analogous to the
CP/M Softcard (I think). The problem however is: how can I get CP/M software in
1541 format? (especially public domain files from sources like SIMTEL-20)
My plan is as follows:
- download files from VM/CMS (IBM mainframe) to an IBM PC
- use Apple turnover-card in PC to convert to Apple Softcard CP/M format
  (I can give you some more info on this card if you want)
- read Apple disks on 1541 and convert to C-64 CP/M format
Could these people be so kind to mail me again?
Please send any mail to me personally ( U267105 at HNYKUN11.BITNET) since I'm
not a member of this list.
Thanks in advance,
