The DISK2 (which is what you have) will boot either Compupro CP/M-80 or CP/M-86. The boot sequence was somewhat specific to Compupro hardware though, since it used a call to the the dual processor cpu board (bring- ing the 8088/86 alive to do block moves in memory). Consequently, unless you have a Compupro dual processor cpu board.. you may have to re-write some of the ROM boot code. Compupro is still around.. They are called Viasyn Corp. and are located in Hayward CA. TWYL Bill
