Devon, a couple of comments that I might/should have made earlier. You
are quite correct about the ID of your drives. Unlike the PC's, the boot
drive is normally A: in CP/M. Other partitions fall in order. Your hard
drive - the Tandon 503 is apparently a replacement as it is just a 15mb
drive.
You might try entering a ^C when you get the message about booting CP/M-2.2
and see if you can break out of loading TurboDOS and staying in CP/M.
Though, I doubt that you have a full suite of CP/M utilities there.
Dick's advice is quite correct on the 286 thing. It is most unlikely to
work as you are dealing with a different controller. If you do want to
try, stick with WD controllers as that is what is in the 806.
