Does the unit support both HDOS and CP/M, and are the partitions bootable?
Quikstor will allow up to 15 user defined partitions, which can be HDOS or CP/M or any
combination of the two. In addition, each partition is bootable once it has been SYSGENed. As
many as 8 HDOS partitions may be on line at one time with one driver, and as many as 4 CP/M
partitions may be on line at one time.
What versions of operating systems will the Quikstor software support?
The CP/M BIOS provides support for either Quikstor and H17, Quikstor and H37 or Quikstor and H47. It
requires CP/M 2.2.03 or 2.2.04. The HDOS driver is for use only under HDOS 2.0.
I have an H17 and an H37. How do I transfer my files?
Obviously, the H37 format is the most practical to have 'on line' with the Winchester, since it can
hold more data. This is, of course, advantageous for both the loading and the unloading of the
Winchester. Since you can't have more than one format used with the Winchester because of
addressing problems, use the H37. Before you do that, however, using Heath's MAKEBIOS (see
REMark issues 26 and 27 for an easier way on doing it), configure a BIOS for your H17 and H37. Then
transfer all your H17 files to your H37 format. Remove the H17 card, and bring the
Winchester/37 back on line. Now simply PIP all files over.
