CP/M ENHANCEMENTS

little confusing since drive B:, when using

SGLDRIVE, will actually he drive A: (the only

drive you have). However, its actually not all

that complicated. Whenever CP/M goes to talk to

drive B:, it will think it is talking to a

higher capacity Elite Drive. SGLDRIVE will take

care of the fact that drive B: is actually drive

A: (with a different diskette inside). When CP/M

goes to talk to drive A:, it will think of it as

a Disk It. The only thing you need to worry

about is that when SGLDRIVE asks you to mount

the diskette for drive B:, you must put in the

diskette which was formatted for the higher

capacity. When SGLDRIVE requests the diskette

for drive A:, you must put in the enhanced CP/M

system master diskette. Let the system worry

about all the complicated details of dealing

with two different types of diskettes.

After PROFILE updates the CP/M system, it will

return to the asterisk (“*”) prompt. The next

thing that needs doing is a small assist for

SGLDRIVE. tAle to the way SGLDRIVE functions,

you will also need to redefine drive D: (another

drive you don’t actually have) the same way you

redefined drive B:. So, if you’re an Elite One

user, type:

D:1

If you’re an Elite Two user, type:

D:2
