Now that you have set up your system and loaded MS-DOS, it

a safe place.

The procedure for copying diskettes depends on the number of

diskette drives you have. Follow the instructions below for your

model. You’ll need four blank, 360KB, double-sided, double-

Note

If your computer has only one diskette drive and no hard

disk, follow the instructions in Chapter 3 for copying

diskettes with only one drive.

Be sure to label each diskette as you copy it. Write on the label

before you attach it to the diskette to prevent damaging the

diskette.

prompt should be on the screen; if it is not, follow

the steps in the previous section, “Loading MS-DOS on the
Apex 100.”

2. Remove the Startup diskette from the cop drive by turning

the latch up and pulling out the diskette. Then insert the

diskette labelled “Operating 1” and turn the latch down to

secure the diskette. The Operating 1 diskette contains the

DISKCOPY program which you will use to make the
