ELITE SERIES USER MANUAL

CP/M ENHANCEMENTS

CP/M will respond with it’s “A>”. Now issue the

following four commands. After each command has

completed, CP/M will respond with it’s “A>”

prompt. Whenever SGLDRIVE asks you to “mount

B:”, you should insert the Enhancer diskette and

then press <ESC>. When SGLDRIVE asks you to

“mount A:”, you should insert the enhanced CP/M

master diskette and then press <ESC>.

PIP A: =B:FORMAT.COM[V] <RETURN>

PIP A: =B:COPY.COM[V]<RETURN>

PIP A: =B:PROFILE.COM[V] <RETURN>

PIP A: =B:SGLDRIVE.COM[V]<RETURN>

If you are a first time Apple CP/M user, the “[“

character is produced by typing <CTRL-K>, and

the "]" character is produced by typing <SHIFT-

N>. The Apple keyboard is not marked with (at

least one of) these characters. If you are

using a special keyboard modification or 80—

column board, you will probably need to consult

the manual for that product concerning special

keyboard characters under CP/M.

These commands told the PIP utility to copy the

specified files from drive B: to drive A: and to

verify that the files made it there correctly

(“[V]").

The next step is to create a system diskette

which gives you the full storage capability of

your drive. If the only Elite product you have

is the Elite Controller, then you are finished.

The rest of these instructions deal with the

configuring of the enhanced CP/M to make use of

the extra storage of an Elite Series drive.
