tween two different diskettes. SGLDRIVE solves

this not so little problem by doing a little

lieing to CP/M itself.

To get SGLDRIVE started, type:

<d>:SGLDRIVE

where <d> is the drive in which the diskette

containing SGLDRIVE is inserted.

After SGLDRIVE is loaded, it will sign-on with:

Enhanced Apple ][ CP/M

Dual to Single Drive Mapping Utility

Revision 1. 1

When SGLDRIVE is first executed, it takes a

small section of itself and copies it into some

storage space inside CP/M which is only used

when you have three or more drives. This little

piece of SGLDRIVE will remain inside CP/M until

you completely reboot your Apple. This is re-

ferred to as the “resident“ portion of SGLDRIVE.

Once this resident portion is in place, SGLDRIVE

will tell you:

B: now mapped to A:

This means that whenever CP/M or a utility/pro-

gram running under CP/M (PIP for instance) asks

CP/M to read or write some information from

drive B: (which, as a single drive user, you

won’t have), SGLDRIVE will display:

P a g e 1 0 - 3 5
