That's correct. There is a special disk to set up the hard drive. I think you
have to have this disk in drive A in order to read the hard drive, I don't think
one can simply boot a 1050 to harddrive. I plan to work on this system over
the next few months, I will document the process on my site when I do. I
also am knee-deep in projects at the moment.
Bill Does anybody have a Visual 1050 with hard drive
setup? I am looking
for any doc/pointers on how to get a hard drive configured under
CP/M for this system.
I do have two of them with HD, haven't powered it for a little while so
memory is fuzzy.
As I remember it used a different copy of the bios (boot disk) to configure
as the bios had to be aware of the hard drive. I can look at docs but
powering it up would take weeks to get to as other projects are in the
forefront.
