Missing COMMAND.COM
If the computer displays “Bad or missing Command Interpreter”, the computer is configured to
start from the hard disk and...
• the COMMAND.COM file was accidentally deleted, or
• the operating system can’t find the COMMAND.COM file (it may be in a directory other
than the root directory), or
• an incompatible version of COMMAND.COM was copied over the COMMAND.COM
version supplied with the MX1.
To replace the command interpreter, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the MX1 is powered off.
2. Remove the endcap.
3. Insert the DOS boot SRAM card into Slot 0, the bottom slot.
Note: You should have created a DOS boot SRAM when you received the MX1.
4. Power on the MX1.
5. If you receive the “Bad or missing command interpreter” message continue with step
6, otherwise go to step 12.
