I guess the header (Subject & Keywords) say most of it.
I recently got the cpm emulator for the ST and installed it on my system.
Following directions, I'm supposed to format a single sided diskette
and type make_cpm. This make a CPM diskette OK but the next step is to
boot up CPMZ80.TOS, insert the disk I just made and after following
the prompts and getting a A: prompt, I'm supposed to type INIDSK a:
The proble is that when I insert a freshly TOS formatted disk (or any
for that matter) I get a 'DISK NOT EMPTY' error and inidsk aborts.
That's one error. Another is that according to docs, the TOSCPM
utility is supposed to copy from drive a to drive a prompting for
diskette changes. When I try, I get an error stating something like
'SOURCE and DESTINATION disks are the SAME' then aborts.
Well, I give up! I am running TOS 1.4. Could this be the problem?
Any help or hints would be appreciated!
THANX in ADVANCE, Paul Moreau.

I am running TOS 1.4. Could this be the problem? I haven't used CP/M since before installing TOS 1.4, so I tried it again and couldn't get it to work. If I remember correctly, the CP/M emulator was developed by Atari. But then my copy of Logo hasn't worked with 1.4 either. Mark Storkamp

I tried out a (different) copy of the emulator on my STE at home, and to my surprise it ran fine (at least, it loaded OK and I could list a directory, which was all I tried.) I haven't taken home my disks from work, or taken to work my disks from home, so I may just have one bad copy. As they say in the food guides, more reports please!
