Commodore 128: Compatiblity with IBM

In Compute's Gazette, October 1986 issue, it was noted that the C-128 can read IBM CP/M-86 format disks, along with a report on a program, The Big Blue Reader, that makes the 1571 drive read PC/MS-DOS format disks, translates text files to Commodore ASCII, and writes them to a Commodore disk, and vice versa. C-128 users can take home disks from the office PC/MS-DOS machine, edit ASCII files on a word processor at home, and bring them back. Just make sure that the office word processor puts out or can translete its files to ASCII! The Big Blue Reader is $29.95 from S.O.G.W.A.P. Software, 611 Boccaccio Ave, Venice, CA 90291.
