NOTE:
If a B is not indicated when
booting up the system, the
message “ Drive Not Ready” will
appear.
Simply type a B and carrier
return to reboot the system.
The file
CPM.SYS
contains the
operating system for
PEOPLE
with two drives. The file
CPM.WIN
contains the operating system for
PEOPLE
with one drive and the
Winchester drive.
First, rename the
CPM.SYS
file
for future use with the dual disk
drives. We will name the new
file
CPM.FLP
to indicate that
this is the file that will be used
to load the operating system
when using the dual disk drive
with floppy diskettes.
• Type: REN CPM.FLP=CPM.SYS
• [RETURN]
Because the
PEOPLE
recognizes CPM.SYS to load the
system, the next step is to
rename the CPM.WIN file to
CPM.SYS.
• Type: REN CPM.SYS=CPM.WIN
• [RETURN]
• Press: RESET to reboot the
system
Now the
PEOPLE
Personal
Microcomputer is ready to load
the operating system for the
Winchester drive.
The Winchester drive takes
residence in drive A and drive
C. This is because CP/M is
restricted to a maximum of 8.5
megabytes. Because the
capacity of the Winchester is
approximately 10 megabytes,
drive A contains 8.5 megabytes
and drive C holds 1.5
megabytes.
The disk drive for the floppy
disk is recognized by the
computer as drive B.
To boot up the Winchester:
• Type: B [RETURN]
The A> which appears on your
screen indicates that you are
now working on the Winchester
drive. The Winchester drive is
installed in the right hand drive.
After installation of the
Winchester drive, the left hand
drive becomes drive B.
Formatting the Winchester Drive
The Winchester must be
formatted for use on your
PEOPLE
Personal
Microcomputer.
To format the Winchester:
• Switch to drive B
• Type: WFORM
• Depress the [RETURN] key
NOTE:
If the Winchester to be
formatted had been previously
used, this procedure will erase
all files located on the
Winchester.
The following prompt:
Do you really want to format
me? (Y)
will appear on your screen.
• Type: Y and [RETURN]
After you have depressed Y with
a [RETURN] the computer will
proceed to format the
Winchester. This procedure
takes approximately three
minutes.
