SOGWAP software produces a program that can read from MS-DOS files and
write to a CBM drive. The following is an excerpt of an ad placed by
SOGWAP software in the June 1988 issue of Compute's Gazette:
"If you have the Commodore 128 or 64, and the 1571/1581 disk drive,
you can read from and write to IBM PC compatible MS-DOS files using
Big Blue Reader 128/64....
Big Blue Reader 128 - transfer files between Commodore 128/64, MS-DOS
and C128 CPM diskettes on 1571/1581 drives.
Big Blue Reader 64 - transfers files between Commodore 64 and
MS-DOS diskettes. REQUIRES 1571 DRIVE.
Can also be used as a standard file copy program CBM to CBM"
The ability to do this read/write is due to the architecture of the 1571/1581
drives. These drives were designed to read/write GCR format and read MFM
disk format.
You can order Big Blue Reader from SOGWAP software by sending a check or
