I hope someone has a fix for this problem. I don't have a good solution. I have been running CP/M-86 from floppies on an IBM-PC (early model). I added a hard disk and run CCP/M-86 from that, as well as still running the CP/M-86 from floppy. Because I had an old IBM-PC I could not boot directly from hard disk, but had to use a special boot floppy to bring up CCP/M. Now I have the new ROM for my PC, and I can boot MS-DOS or CCP/M directly from the hard disk. *BUT* I can no longer boot any of my CP/M-86 floppy disks. I put the diskette in drive A: and power up. After a small wait the CRT says '1 hard disk' and spins the floppy. It then says: Interrupt #40 from C800:0353 Strike any key to continue vertically down the screen (and it wasn't easy to read, believe me!). Striking any key just repeats the message. What am I doing wrong. I can still boot a floppy version of MS-DOS, but not CP/M-86. Turning off the hard drive doesn't help. Any suggestions? tnx
