The correct program for initializing diskettes is init.abs. It reads the device specific code it needs from the device driver on your boot disk.<DIV>Sorry for my mistake. Be sure to press the space bar a couple of times when you attempt to boot a newly initialized and sysgened diskette. This helps HDOS to set the correct baud rate and allows the bootstrap to continue.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><DIV>Stanley</DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Nov 6, 2006, at 10:59 PM, Mark Garlanger wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="2" style="font: 10.0px Helvetica">Can some point me to where this 'init37.abs' program is supposed to</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="2" style="font: 10.0px Helvetica">be?
