ELITE SERIES USER MANUAL | CP/M ENHANCEMENTS |
Once you have the drive type number from the table, type (without <RETURN>):
A:
followed by the drive type number. For example, if you have an Elite Two, you would type:
A:2
If you have an Elite One, you would type:
A:1
And, if you have an Elite Three, you would type:
A:3
You should be careful to specify the correct drive type for your drive. FORMAT cannot always catch that the drive was unable to handle the type of format you requested. The disk will appear to be correctly formatted but will cause a CP/M Disk I/O error or BDOS error at some later stage, or your new CP/M may not boot.
Once you’ve specified the formatting informa- tion, type:
<RETURN>
FORMAT will respond with:
Insert disk to be formatted in drive A: Press RETURN to begin
