I haven't actually used LRR myself, but I think a few clarifications are
in order:

The program requires C128 and either 1571 or 1581 model disk drive(s) to
work. I don't remember if it requires two drives or if you can use it with
just one.

It is also not shareware but freeware.

There IS a program which basically does the same thing with a C64 and
1541. It works by formatting a disk so that it can be read by both a 1541
and PC DD floppy drive. You must have a special program on both systems to
read and write this disk. Don't remember what it's called, but I could
probably find out if anyone is interested enough.
