Then
type
BACKUP (return) following the l0 prompt.
You should see on the
screen "BACKUP - VERSION l.X" with "SOURCE DRIVE
_It
displayed directly
underneath it.
Press A.
The program will then display "DESTINATION DRlv""E -".
Press A again.
The pr'O:jram will then instruct you to "INSERT SOURCE DISKETTE
(RETURN).
Since the diskette you wish to copy is already JIDunted, simply press
the (return) key.
The drive will be accessed, as indicated by its red LED
being lit.
After a short period of tirre, the "INSERT SOURCE DISKETI'E (RETURN)
prompt will change
to
"INSERT DESTINATION DISKETTE (RETURN)".
Dismount the
source diskette by pressing the door lever downwards and then releasing it.
Then press the lever upwards
to
eject the source diskette.
Insert your new,
unused diskette in the slot and mount it.
lNhen you have done this, you can
press the <return> button.
The drive will be accessed and the "INSERT
DESTINATION DISKETTE (RETURN)" prompt will again change to "INSERI' SOURCE
DISKETTE (RETURN)".
You will have to go through this cycle six or seven
times.
5) At the end of the process, or earlier if an error occurs, you will see a
message on the screen following the last line.
This message tells you whether
or not the copying process succeeded.
Always look for it.
If
successful, you
will see "Copy complete".
If unsuccessful, you will see either "Bad source diskette" or "Bad
destination diskette".
If unsuccessful, you should unload completely, and
remount the diskettes, then go to step 4 and try the process again with the
same diskettes.
If it does not succeed a second time and you get "Bad
destination diskette", try again using a different diskette as destination
diskette, because it is probably a defective diskette.
If
possible, try a
different brand of diskettes, from one of the three brands mentioned above.
After you get a successful backup, repeat the process again with the same
diskettes.
If you cannot consistently get a successful backup, then contact
service personnel to adjust the drive.
6) In resp:lnse to the statement
U(R)
to return to system
(B) execute backup
again", type an R to return
to
the CP/M executive (called "CCP"), or type B if
you want
to
repeat the backup process.
7) Once you have backed up your serialized CP/M diskette, the VIP System
(without its printer) is probably functioning satisfactorily.
At this time,
you may follow the procedure in Section 3.6 of the CP
1M
2 Introductory Manual
p
which configures the Personalized CP/M 2 System Diskette so that it makes full
use of the 56K of ITeJIDry in the system (rather than using only 48K).
You can
skip this procedure if CP/M will not
be
used by this particular user.
8) Before configuring the Personalized diskette for use in a 56K system, remove
the serialized diskette, return it to its envelope and store it in a safe
place.
Unless the Personalized diskette and all its copies are damaged.f you
should never use the serialized diskette again.
Unload the Personalized CP/11 2
System Diskette, and label it as such, including the release number and the
serial number of the serialized diskette.
