CP/M disks use a completely different format from TOS disks. In
order to begin using ST CP/M, you must use the MAKE_ME utility to
create a CP/M format disk which includes two important utilities:
INIDSK, which formats additional CP/M disks, and TOSCPM, which
lets you move files from TOS format disks to CP/M format disks.
First follow the directions for MAKE_ME.TOS below. Then run the
CPMZ80.TOS program to enter CP/M. Finally, use the TOSCPM utility
to copy the remaining CP/M utilities onto the CP/M disk.
You MUST be in medium resolution (color) or high resolution
(monochrome) to use ST CP/M. Low resolution will not work.
MAKE_ME DIRECTIONS
1) Prepare a BLANK single sided Formatted disk.
2) Insert the disk containing Make_Cpm and the CPM data file
into DISK DRIVE A.
3) Click on the Make_Cpm icon to run the program.
4) When prompted, INSERT the BLANK disk into
DISK DRIVE A.
5) When completed, you will now have a CP/M formatted disk
to run with the emulator.
NOTE: There are several things that you should do before
experimenting with the CP/M emulator.
1) Prepare several new CP/M formatted disks.
To do this, run INIDSK <diskdrive>
At the prompt, INSERT a BLANK formatted disk into the
drive that you specified and press return.
You now have a new CP/M formatted disk!
2) Copy the TOS format CP/M files to your working CP/M
disks using TOSCPM.
The format is: TOSCPM <tosfile> <cpmfile>
3) Upon completion, you should put away the MAKE_CPM disk
and also the PSUEDO CP/M disk that was created.
From now on, you should only use your 'genuine' CP/M disks.
ENJOY!
