 As I recall it was the Different Floppy Formatting, And even Media
Type, CP/M machine manfacturers used in the formatting. There were
Conversion programs out there if you had a "Smart Floppy Drive' As an
example for my Commodore 128 I used "Big Blue Reader". With it I could
transfer data, ACSCII Text or Comma delimited Data Base data, to an IBM
formatted floppy. Or with it Read a IBM formatted Floppy for Import
into the Commodore. Again only certian Data waould be usable. 
The same held true typicaly for the CP/M to CP/M trasnfer. It was Only
dats as the CP/M was different and you could not transfer Programs
without Tweeking the Code.
