Concerning Commodore 64 CPM card,

I read two articles in the popular mags (Commander and some other).
The first said that the CPM was quite complete (PIP, DIR, DDT(?)) and the
reviewer was satisfied with it. The second article didn't contradict the
second one but said the biggest problem with it is that CPM is a disk
intensive os and as we all know the speed of the 1541 drive, CPM is not very
usefull. I personally don't know because haven't got one yet.

p.s. Turbo-pascal comes in 1541 format. Is this the first product?

p.p.s. I wonder if those Apple emulators could read Apple CPM disk format?
