- It might be easier to install the Jaz, get it up and running. Then
- simply (example) COPY DH1: JAZ: ALL CLONE . Then you can edit your
- User-Startup assigns to point to the Jaz. Reboot and check things out.
- If you have a CRC checker you can then compare all files on both drives to
- see if they check out identical.
-
- Since the Jaz is a removeable and you might not have the correct
- cartridge in when you boot you might want to check out the DEFER option
- of the ASSIGN command. This tells AmigaDOS not to check for the existance
- of a particular assign until the system tries to use it.
