No data medium label is entered but only the enter key is actuated. Then the question appears:
Delete current data medium label (Y/N)?
This question is acknowledged with "Y" and the enter key.
After this the program LABEL is finished (MS-DOS-Prompt). Next, all required files are copied to
the drive D: (adhere following order if the drive should be bootable):
1. Io.sys
2. Msdos.sys
3. command.com
4. remaining files and directories in optional order
Attention: The files Io.sys and Msdos.sys are hidden files and thus, cannot be transferred via the
DOS-command COPY. It is possible to transfer them e.g. by mean of DOSSHELL or the Norton
Commander. Thus the master for the program memory is generated, and the program SDGEN is
called up next with following parameters:
C:\SD\SDGEN
EPROM-SIZE in Bit (0,512,1M,2M,4M,8M): 0
SPLITTED IN ODD-EVEN (Y/N): N
SOURCE DRIVE (A: .... F:) : D:
TARGET FILE NAME (max. 8 char.) : EPROM
The program generates the file EPROM.000. (Note for insider: During generation of this file the
boot sector and the double FAT will be created. With it the silicon disk will be bootable).
Subsequently, this file can be transferred with the program SDLOAD to the program memory . The
program SDLOAD is called with the following parameters:
