I can only say that I successfully copied my old CP/M disks to .d71-images with this tool. Did never try the other way around. Can you post the .d71 here or by PM? I can try to copy to real 1571 disk and test on my system.

I had no problem creating a real 1571-disk from the cpm30zexall.d71-image on my C128/1571-combo. I could then boot from the newly created disk and start zexall.com from CP/M. However I noticed I had a newer version of DiscCopier on my SD-card. I don't know if this means anything, but here's the newer version:

I am going to try that disk copier tomorrow! I have been trying to find a reliable way to make double sided CPM disks from .d71 files for weeks!

The DiskCopier program worked just great. I copied the CPM 3.0 .D71 file over to my SD2IEC, copied the DiskCopier.prg over to a standard 1571 disk (First to SD2IEC, then the prg file to a disk - then I had to strip the .prg extension from the file). I used Dracopy to browse to the folder that my .D71 were on on the SD2IEC and quit the program so the C128 used that location as the active file location. I launched DiskCopier, chose the option to copy .D71 to 1571, chose which drives I was copying from and to, and waited 20 minutes for it to copy. Boom! Perfect double sided CP/M disk that worked perfect. Now... To figure out how to use CP/M. I will play with this some more and do a video on it withing the next week or two.

After you become extremely bored with the standard CP/M, try this flavor of CP/M instead : csdb.dk/release/?id=171699Have fun playing rogue.com =) Set up 80 column display, 1581 drive, and 16MB "REU" ram expansion unit .. in emulator beforehand. Z64K emu makes it easy : csdb.dk/release/index.php?id=172120Cheers!
