Luckily, one of the nice features of the MM/1 is its ability to read and
write PCDOS files on IBM-formatted disks. In fact, I use my MM/1 to move files
between my Coco and Windows or Linux.
Another restriction is that the MM/1 can handle only 54 files per directory.
But you can browse the CD-ROM on your PC, then transfer the files of interest
to a floppy, and put that in your MM/1. But I think you already knew that
