    I created a 3.5 inch boot disk with CP/AM quite some time ago.  I
recently found it but had only a very scrambled memory of how I
created it.  Combined with a very vague memory of someone in this
Usenet group asking about such a disk, I was one confused old guy.
Now that I have a IIe set up right next to this XP system with a large
screen, making it easy to refer to a PDF of the CP/AM documentation, I
found out how right Steven is about CP/AM supporting booting from a
3.5 inch drive.  Anyway, there is now an image of such a disk in my
favorite CP/M repository.  One that Sean can easily access...
