Actually I'm not sure which OS it wants. I tried using the emulator program
to create a new DOS33 disk by loading a DOS33 image initially, then opening
a NEW file, then creating a small pgm in Basic language (10 PRINT "HELLO")
then typing INIT HELLO to initialize the disk image file. This new
initialised empty disk runs ok, but when I try to use it as a save disk, the
game just hangs at a 'Saving, please wait' message. Not sure what that means
since I do remember the game saving file to dos disks on the original system
<shrug>.
