Oh dear. My spell-checker has no brains today. sb "oleaginous behaviour". 
Since I don't use a spell-checker this should not surprise me. Perhaps, 
synononymously, "smarmy" would have been a better choice of word to spell... 
variant of colloquial smalm, smawm.

Something tells me I'm in "schmidt" again tho'

The price is certainly right. OTOH the CF method is easy but one needs an 
understanding wife or some play money or both. Henry would like me to push 
my luck and grab another Microdrive when I get my GS.

In the meantime my C64 has aquired an MMC replay which also works on a C128 
which also supports CP/M with its native Z80 and since the Vice emulator and 
x128 also support CP/M 80 disk images I do suppose that the method to create 
a real CP/M disk for a real C128 using a Media Card would be similar to what 
we do on the Apple II with a CF Card. I have no problem creating real C64 
disks from disk images using the MMC Replay providing my disk drive works:).

BTW I do provide a C128 CP/M 80 disk image with sample Aztec C Sample 
Programs in d64 format from the Aztec C website. I guess I'll get off my 
duff and see if I can cut a C128 CP/M disk of Aztec C Samples when I get the 
C128 restored. For now I need to get the lawn furniture out of the snow:)
