ELITE SERIES USER MANUAL
ENHANCED CP/M UTIL.
FORMAT Complete
Format disk in which drive?
You are free to issue another command to do
another format at this point. when you have no
more formatting to do, make sure your CP/M sys-
tem diskette is back in drive A: and then just
answer the question with <RETURN>.
If you used drive A: anytime during your format-
ting, FORMAT will remember this and request:
Insert CP/M System disk in drive A:
Press RETURN
When you’ve got your system diskette back into
drive A:, type <RETURN>.
Important Note: Unlike the INIT command under
Apple’s DOS, FORMAT does not place a copy of any
operating system onto the newly formatted disk-
ette. This means that the diskette will not
boot at all. You Apple will “hang” if you
attempt to boot the diskette or leave it in
drive A: when a transient command or program
finishes and returns control to CP/M (see Tran-
sient Commands in your CP/M manuals). Refer to
the COPY utility instructions for information on
how to place CP/M onto the new diskette.
