I would rather say that we can now create FSTs (see our RDOS FST) but
I will focus on the CP/P disks which I have never had between my hands
but I know where they are on Asimov.

Nevertheless, those disks are 140 KB long, 35 tracks of 16 sectors,
just like our Pro/DOS disks but were these disks copyable with
Locksmith? Were the disk drives connected to the CP/M card or do the
Apple II disk controller card?

Any other info on the "physical" disk format interest me. The
A2.CPM.ref.txt found on asimov is a good starting point.

Thank you,
