You could also try to get hold of a program calles UNIFORM. It has aprox.
100 different diskformats, both 40 tracks and 80 tracks, single sided, double
sided, songle density and double density.
One of the noce features of UNIFORM is, that it will not only allow you to
transfer files between PC[MS]DOS and the 100 or so CP/M formats, but you can 
also tell PC[MS]DOS to recognize the next highest drive in your system ( d: if you have 2 floppies and an HD) as a CP/M disk in any of the CP/M formats. 
You don't even have to transfer the CP/M files; just use them as they come
on the CP/M floppy! Use any PC[MS]DOS command to access the CP/M disk.
