This program for the Commodore 128 (40 or 80 column mode) reads in an ASCII file, converts it to PET ASCII, and then re-writes it. It uses memory in BANK 1 from $1000 to $FE00 to store the data.  Two drives are required.  Supports the 1541, 1571 & 1581 floppy drives.

Big Blue Reader 128 v1.1 (1986) by Mike Miller of s.o.g.w.a.p. is a utility for the Commodore 128 & 1571 floppy drive to move data between a DOS floppy and a Commodore formatted floppy.  This is an early version and didn't support the 1581 yet because that wasn't released until 1987.  If anyone has a manual for the first release and wants to share, please reach out via this "Contact Us" link.  I'd love to  know what the actual capabilities of this version were.

Did you know that s.og.w.a.p. stands for "Son of God With all the Power"?  True fact.  There is usually a whole chapter of the Bible included with BBR.

Big Blue Reader 128/64 Version 4.1 represents a major upgrade for C64 and C128 programs from previous BBR versions. BBR Version 4.1 can use specially formatted 1.44-megabyte MS-DOS disks using CMD's FD-2000 & FD-4000 high capacity drives. Standard 1.44-megabyte MS-DOS disks will NOT work with BBR.

Big Blue Reader 128 v2.02 by Michael R. Miller,  released in 1988 - This utility will let you read IBM formatted floppies on a 1571/1581 floppy drive with a Commodore 128.  Newer version exist on the site, but you never know when you might need a particular version

CPM271 is an updated version of a CP/M file transfer utility originally written by Michael McLawhorn, modified by Deepak Midha for 2 1541s and now converted to run on the Commodore 128 in C128 mode, with 2 1541 and/or 1571s.

D128it is a simple program for the c128 to convert from .D64 files (emulator disk images) to a 1541 disk or vice-versa. It's slow but it works! Of course to use it you need a device on the c64 that can hold a ~170k D64 file (eg 1581, Ramdisk/REU, CMD hard drive etc).

Features:

• Works with all storage devices, including REU's with ramdos
• Supports paths/partitions on CMD devices
• Supports CMD 1541 partitions as well as 'real' 1541 drives
• c128 versions works with fast serial devices like 1581/1571

Kompcator is a simple little utility to turn a 1541 disk or CMD 1541 partition into a .D64 disk image.

This is a super simple C128 program that can take the contents of a .d64 disk image and extract it onto a real Commodore formatted floppy.

D71/D81 Writer C128 v1.1 by Ernoman and WdW - With this utility for the Commodore 128 and a Ultimate 1541 II or II+ you can write a .d71 or .d81 disk image stored on your sd-card or usb-stick connected to the U1541 back to a real floppy. As you can see from the screenshot, I don't have an Ultimate device because the screenshot is from an emulator.

See the extended desciption for usage details.  

Here is a link to the projects Github page in case you want to compile the binary yourself.  

Little Red Reader is a Commodore 128 program that reads files from MS-DOS floppies on 1571 / 1581 Drives.  This is likely the very first version released as it has no version number in the docs.  The source code which is on the disk dates the program to October 1992.  Docs are also on the disk.

Little Reader Reader v2.00 by Craig Bruce (Released March 8th, 1994) - This is a program that let's you read MS-DOS floppies on a Commodore 128 with a 1571 floppy drive.  This is an older version and shouldn't be used, instead use version 2.80, I just uploaded it for collectors and data hoarders like myself ;)

Little Red Reader 128 version 2.5 by Craig Bruce on June 3,1996 with contributions from Adam Vardy.  This handy program will let you move files from a MS-DOS floppy to a Commodore disk.

Little Red Reader (LRR) is a program for the C128 that will read and write files to and from MS-DOS floppy disks using a 1571, 1581, CMD FD-2000, or CMD FD-4000 disk drive.  With the FD drives, you can use High Density (HD) MS-DOS disks.

This particular version of Little Red Reader by SypSepa fixes issues with the CMD SuperCPU.  There are some slight cosmetic changes and the whole program is now only a single file.  If you want the docs, grab v2.70 as all that information applies to this version also.

Ever want to convert a text file made from SpeedScript to a different word processing format only to be stuck because SpeedScript uses PRG files for data files. Well, you're in luck with this GEM!! This program will convert those messy SpeedScript files to a sequential file format, and also give you an option to convert to PETASCII or true ASCII. Not only that, you can convert your sequential data files to SpeedScript format also! Full documentation is included. This file must be run and dissolved in C64 mode. Once this is done this program can be run in either 40 or 80 column mode on your C128.

Super Sweep 128 for the Commodore 128 (80 Column) is used to translate CP/M and MS-DOS text and data files to C-128 format.
