Copying Using the CP/M System Disc
The entire contents of a disc can be copied from one to another using the CP/M system
disc. If you have connected only one disc drive to the computer, use the DISCCOPY
facility.
If you are operating 2 disc drives you will find it easier and faster to use the
COPYDISC facility.
Copying Using DISCCOPY
Insert the CP/M system disc and type in:
|cpm
After the prompt A> appears on the screen, type in:
disccopy
The computer will ask you to:
Please insert source disc into drive A
then press any key
Remove the CP/M system disc from the drive, and insert the disc that you wish to
copy. If you wish to copy the CP/M disc itself, simply leave the CP/M disc inserted in
the drive.
