Yet another Kaypro question

[SourMilk78]

After successfully installing my Gotek floppy emulator I loaded cpm onto the thumb drive and everything booted fine however I noticed that the floppy images had CP/M as well as games and other files..
I was wondering if anyone knew how to merge CP/M images with other CP/M programs for instance CP/M and games as well as a terminal emulator...
Any help appreciated

SYSGEN is the normal way to transfer the CP/M image to new floppies.

 

[ldkraemer]

to transfer files to a fresh SYSGEN'd Floppy use PIP.
PIP dest: = Source:*.COM[ov]

To copy files from Drive B: to A:
PIP A:=B:*.COM[ov]

You can also use the cpmtools set to manipulate the images on your PC/Linux box. I used SYSGEN (and the KayPlus SYSGEN as well) to create a blank disk on my Kaypros with the CP/M system on it. Then I can use cpm tool commands like cpmcp, cpmls to manipulate the images the way I want before loading them onto the GOTEK. Or you can load several blank images onto the GOTEK and manipulate them on the CP/M machine --- if you have the files over there.

I've always used the COPY program to create a blank, bootable floppy on my Kaypros.
