ELITE SERIES USER MANUAL

ENHANCED CP/M UTIL.

1 0 . 4 . P R O F I L E U t i l i t y

The PROFILE utility is the heart of the enhanced

CP/M system. It is this utility which allows you

to tell CP/M where various drive models are

located on your system, and also allows you to

declare the drive as a different model (an Elite

Two as a Disk II, for example) to allow you to

read and create diskettes to be interchanged

with other Apple II CP/M systems.

PROFILE has absolutely no effect on the Elite

Controller card since the enhanced CP/M func-

tions with it completely automatically. En-

hanced CP/M does not need to be told to use all

four drives on the Elite Controller, and to only

use two drives on the Disk II controller; it’s

all automatic.

PROFILE is executed from CP/M command level by

typing:

<d> :PROFILE<RETURN>

where <d> is the drive in which the diskette

containing PROFILE is located.

PROFILE signs-on by saying:

Apple ][ CP/M
