To make a Personal CP/M-86 bootable floppy (I assume that it will a 3.25 diskette in drive A: on your PC/AT) please execute the below steps: 1) Uncompress PCPM204E.ZIP, you will get the following files: a) PCPM204E.DSK - diskette image file of PCP/M-86 ver 2.0/4 for PC16-20/AT, b) INSTALL.TXT - a file you are reading. 2) In a directory which contains a diskette image (PCPM204E.DSK) execute the following command: COPYQM A: VERIFY=ALL COUNT=1 PLAYBACK=PCPM204E.DSK BLIND 3) Follow the instructions displayed on the monitor and put the 3.5 target floppy in drive A: . 4) Boot your PC to check the floppy boot feature. Since the submit file: A:STARTUP.SUB will be executed, don't protect the floppy, it must be un-protected ! Note: If you want to create a CP/M-86 partition on your HD you must run the HDMAINT.CMD command (it will create and format your new CP/M-86 partition) and copy (use for this a PIP.CMD command) all files from floppy (A:) to the HD (B: or C:), except the start-up submit file A:STARTUP.SUB (i.e. the equivalence of the AUTOEXEC.BAT batch file under DOS). This last file must be adapted (edited and changed) before coping it on a HD. Kuba (03472791922@mail.omnitel.it) 26 Oct 99
