# RP/M-CP/M Format Crises Fixed And More

This has been a very good past week, particularly the weekend. I spent part of the time over at the apartment of one Richard Molpus whom I met on the Kaypro BBS last weekend. Richard has given me the help that I needed. I was able to, with Richard’s help and the help of his set-up, get my PD disks read and copied to a format that can be read by the AERCO system. The system states that it is in a Morrow MD-3 format, but having received the disks originally in that format, the system was unable to read them.
