This is a demonstration of the CR8 SYSTEM INSTALLATION DISK.

The disk will enable distribution to a CR8 customer of any Digital Research
Operating System, such as:

                   -  CP/M
                   -  MP/M II
                   -  CP/M-86
                   -  MP/M-86


It will also serve as a collection of system utilities for later use.

Features include:

       Winchester Disk Formatting
       --------------------------
         This option is provided in case the operating system is being
         installed on a new unformatted disk. Also, the Installation Floppy
         may later serve as a Hard Disk formatting utility.

       System Track Installation
       -------------------------
         Specific files to be placed in the two system tracks of any/all
         Hard Disk drives can be included on the Installation Floppy. These
         files would typically contain an operating system in itself (in the
         case of CP/M Vers. 2.2, or SCRIMP/M for the 8088 operating systems),
         or a loader that will later bring up the operating system from a file
         (in the case of MP/M II and MP/M-86). Also, this option will later
         serve as a 'GETPUT' utility for new generations of System Track
         Images.

       Help Display
       ------------
         This is the ability to display a given text file included on the
         Installation Floppy. The file would be specific to the operating
         system installation at hand, i.e. it would explain the steps
         required to install e.g. MP/M-86 if that was the goal of that
         specific Installation Floppy.

       File Copying
       ------------
         This copying utility will copy all files with type SYS (e.g. *.SYS)
         (with or without SYS attrib) from the Floppy to a Hard Disk drive to
         be selected by the user (typically drive A: for MP/M-86 and drive B:
         for MP/M II).

    This demonstration disk can install a version of MP/M II on Drive D.
    To do this, Your Drive D must not contain anything valuable in its
    System Tracks. Furthermore, You will get a file named MPM.SYS on
    Your disk. To test the installation, You must boot from Drive D.


    NOTE:

       Your CR8 must contain the Version 3.0 BOOT PROM.
       It must be equiped with a 10 Megabyte Winchester Disk,
       and the address decoders for MP/M II.
