Hi,

An important question, this one. (quick answers appreciated)

Recently, I have picked up a copy of the PD CP/M emulator package (in
this case the `enhanced' package from Mikes Computer Store). In order
to work, the 3.5" disks must be formatted from TOS, then a program INIT
run from CP/M to make them usable. The problem is this:

a) The program INIT if run from drive A: as `INIT A:' will try to write
   to the utilities disk (bad idea I think)
b) I only have a single disk drive, and it does not prompt for swapping
   if I give it `INIT B:'
c) I have a few ramdisks, but none seem to be `INIT'able with eg.
   `INIT D:'

From the above, I am unable to init any disks, and can't even backup
the supplied utils disk. Therefore the emulator is useless.

Please help, What am I missing?

Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
