Hello,
I have been trying to get RDCBM10 running on my C128 and have had marginal
success.  My configuration is a basic C128 with a 1571 and a 1541. I 
don't have a memory expansion so cannot use drive M: as the CP/M target
drive.  It appears that the first few bytes of the file are not getting
written to the CP/M file (in the neighborhood of 100 +-) based on the
hex dumps I did of the files I tried. I haven't done exaustive testing
to determine the exact number dropped or if it is constant. I suspect
that it does work with drive M: since that is apparently the configuration
the author normally uses based on the defaults.

Has anyone gotten it to work with any combination of 1571/1541 drives
A: B: or E:?  

By the way, RDMS works at least for MS-DOS DS/9-sectors/track (the only
format I've tried). Thanks to Frank Prindle for adapting it for the C128.
