     Somebody recently posted a question concerning the CP/M emulator
and a hard drive.  This is what I know:
     The CP/M-Z80 emulator is capable of accessing your hard drive,
but it is limited to 4 Mb partitions.  If your partition is greater
than 4 Mb, you will get a warning that it has been truncated to 4 Mb
when you try to access it.  If you use TOSDIR to list the files on
your hard drive, it will list the files in the currently active TOS
folder for that partition.
     You could set up a 4 Mb (or less) partition and use it strictly
for CP/M.  You would have to develop a routine like INIDIR to convert
it to a CP/M partition (INIDIR is coded for a 360K single sided drive
only).  You can also install a RAM disk and use it.  I used the SS RAM
disk with Turtle, then used INIDIR to change it to a CP/M RAM disk.
This worked out quite well.
