System information

You can then go through the reboot process with the old or new disk. Instead of performing the
SYSGEN operation, you can type a command of the form:
SAVE 34 CPMxx.COM
at the completion of the MOVCPM function, where xx is the value indicated in the SYSGEN
message. The CP/M memory image on the currently logged disk is in a form that can be patched.
This is necessary when operating in a nonstandard environment where the BIOS must be altered
for a particular peripheral device configuration, as described in Section 6.
The following are valid MOVCPM commands:
MOVCPM 48 Constructs a 48K version of CP/M and starts execution.
MOVCPM 48 * Constructs a 48K version of CP/M in preparation for permanent
recording; the response is
READY FOR 'SYSGEN' OR
'SAVE 34 CPM48.COM'
MOVCPM Constructs a maximum memory version of CP/M and starts
execution.
The newly created system is serialized with the number attached to the original disk and is
subject to the conditions of the Digital Research Software Licensing Agreement.
