Note that the command tape directs both input and output data to tape (equivalent to issuing tape.in and tape.out commands). Similarly disc directs both input and output data to disc.

Copying Using the CP/M System Disc

The entire contents of a disc can be copied from one to another using the CP/M system disc. If you have connected only one disc drive to the computer, use the DISCCOPY facility.

If you are operating 2 disc drives you will find it easier and faster to use the COPYDISC facility.

Copying Using DISCCOPY

Insert the CP/M system disc and type in:

cpm

After the prompt A> appears on the screen, type in:

disccopy

The computer will ask you to:

Please insert source disc into drive A then press any key

Remove the CP/M system disc from the drive, and insert the disc that you wish to copy. If you wish to copy the CP/M disc itself, simply leave the CP/M disc inserted in the drive.
