little confusing since drive B:, when using
SGLDRIVE, will actually he drive A: (the only
drive you have). However, its actually not all
that complicated. Whenever CP/M goes to talk to
drive B:, it will think it is talking to a
higher capacity Elite Drive. SGLDRIVE will take
care of the fact that drive B: is actually drive
A: (with a different diskette inside). When CP/M
goes to talk to drive A:, it will think of it as
a Disk It. The only thing you need to worry
about is that when SGLDRIVE asks you to mount
the diskette for drive B:, you must put in the
diskette which was formatted for the higher
capacity. When SGLDRIVE requests the diskette
for drive A:, you must put in the enhanced CP/M
system master diskette. Let the system worry
about all the complicated details of dealing
with two different types of diskettes.
After PROFILE updates the CP/M system, it will
return to the asterisk (“*”) prompt. The next
thing that needs doing is a small assist for
SGLDRIVE. tAle to the way SGLDRIVE functions,
you will also need to redefine drive D: (another
drive you don’t actually have) the same way you
redefined drive B:. So, if you’re an Elite One
user, type:
D:1<RETURN>
If you’re an Elite Two user, type:
D:2<RETURN>
