I recently obtained some old 5 1/4-inch floppy drives for PCs. If I
install one in my PC, is there some Windows utility which will let me

No one has yet been able to do so without additional, specialized and expensive hardware.

However if you do manage to write CGR disks with the MFM drive, please let us know!

The easiest way to get disks on your older platform is to use the PC as a serial server for your machine. You run software on both computers and stuff via modem or null modem cable.

Thankx,
