Parameters
drive: is the drive containing the diskette to receive the files.
Notes and Suggestions
• The two hidden system files must be the first two files on the
target diskette. If there is no room on the diskette or in the
diskette's directory, the SYS program does not work.
• If the target diskette is blank, SYS converts it to a system
diskette. If the target diskette contains old system files, SYS
updates the system.
• COMMAND.COM (the command processor) is not transferred.
You
must
use
the
COPY
command
to
transfer
COMMAND.COM.
