Yes, Jeff, the 1571 drive can read/write both sides of the diskette in CP/M
mode.  The software distributed with the C128 assumes that the user may not
have a 1571, but only a 1541, thus uses only single side format.  Tell your
brother to format a new disk (enter: FORMAT), selecting C128-Double Sided
format.  Then he can use PIP E:=A:*.* to copy all the stuff from one side
of the original, and repeat that to copy all the stuff from the other side.
The resulting disk will contain everything and be double sided.
