Rob Greene's design allows for both reading and writing, but the write
routines are stubs: e.g. canCreateFile() simply returns false. I filled
in the Pascal implementations, but I have no CP/M experience.

I'm a little inured to the command line, but I read and write Pascal and
ProDOS .2mg images regularly. Are you having trouble with just some .2mg
images? If you can provide a link, I'll take a look. My regular news
