ELITE SERIES USER MANUAL | 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<RETURN>
If you’re an Elite Two user, type:
D:2<RETURN>
