Greetings CP/M'rs. I hope this is the appropriate place to ask these questions. It was the only CP/M newsgroup I could find. We must be a dying breed :) I just became the proud owner of a Kaypro 10, and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about methods or devices I could use to regularly backup the 10M hard drive? It seems prudent especially in light of the firm warnings to use "safety" before turning off the power. I'm sure I'll forget that more than once or have a power outage while running sometime and I'd like to be able to restore things. I hope I don't have to transfer everything through the floppy drive. Also, while I'm here, does anyone know of a source for a PD C compiler for this beastie?

I do have a copy of "Small C" for my Kaypro-10, It's a real <PIG> though; slow, limited syntax, no include function (recompile stdio.h every time, for instance....), and worse. I'll send you a copy if I haven't thoroughly discouraged you yet. J. E.

The K10 is set up such that when the '10 meg' LED is out, the heads have been parked. 'Safety' simply does this before the time-out. As regards backup, the floppy is the logical answer.
