I have *a* GCR CP/M disk. I will have to see what version it is. I
suppose it's copyable with a C-64 and two 1541 drives? If not, I do
have a C-128 - the later (AFAIK) model with the built-in disk drive.
Since I haven't fired it up yet and since the previous owner did a
number on the innards with crappy wire and crappier solder joints (got
it from a kid who lived 5 minutes from Hara Arena), that will be a long,
slow path. A real 1541 and an X1541 cable is something I could do in
the forseeable future.
