    Unfortuantly, the C128's are in Louisiana at the moment. 
  But, the last time I used it, yes it booted into CP/M-80
  and everything worked.  I've seen some mods around that'd
  allow you to make a hard drive for the Commodore 64/128.
  It'd be interesting to get a Terrabyte drive to put in
  one of those units.  The only problem is, the method of
  changing directories and partitions... You'd probably
  be not using but a small percentage of the hard drive.
  Even if you could access all the drive, a 40gig would
  probably be more than enough for everything you can 
  find for the commodore!  Setup a partition with every
  disk image for Commodore 64, 128, CP/M-80, and Vic-20
  you can find... Then setup a catalog of what everything
  is... Then write a program do a kiosk like setup, where
  you just select the image, put the disk in the drive,
  and it makes a copy of that image onto the floppy...
  It'd be a neat use sorta....
