Hi Dwight, thanks for the reminder email. I had remembered DELETE
and COPY, but I could not remember all the details. One thing
that is missing though is what deisgnator was device designator
was used for the serial connectors on the back. I seem to remember
console was :CO: and :CI:... if that is correct?
Thanks again.
best regards, Steve

It was fun booting up ISIS-II version 4.2 and seeing the prompt
come up. I also had a CP/M 2.2 version that booted perfectly!

Hi
I thought I'd add a list of commands from the users
manual for the archives:
IDISK <device> <label> [S]
S = System
FORMAT <device> <label> [<switch>]
switch: A = Copy all files from :F0:
S = Copy only files with system attribute
DEBUG [<progname> [ <parameters> ]]
SUBMIT
<name>[.<extension>][(<parameter0>,<parameter1>...<parameter9>)]
paramters are %0 to %9 in script
DIR [FOR <file>][TO <listfile>][<switch>]
switch: 0 - 5 = :F0: to :F5:
I = List all files including invisible attrib
F = Fast listing
P = Single drive to DIR second disk
COPY <oldfile1>[,<oldfile2>,<oldfile3>...] TO
<newfile>[<switch>]
switch: U = update but don't change attrib and don't print
"ALREADY EXITS"
S = System files only when wild card used.
N = Non-system files only when wild card used.
P = pause for single drive with two floppies
Q = Query
C = Copy attribs
B = Replace, regardless
DELETE <file1>[Q}[,<file2>[Q],<file3>[Q]...][P]
Q = query confirm
P = pause to change disk
ATTRIB <file> <attriblist> [Q]
Attrib: I0 = Reset invisible
I1 = Set invisible
W0 = Reset Write protect
W1 = Set Write protect
F0 = Reset Format attrb F1 = Set Format
