Copying the files

Once you have decided how to divide up your storage, it is time to copy all the files necessary to boot the BBS system. Below are the needed files for your Program drive as well as the Boot files for the boot disk. For larger disk systems, you can combine these two into one singular drive/area. For 1541 floppy disk users, the Boot Drive files will be your Boot disk. For 1571 users, if your program files disk has 700 or more blocks available, you can include the boot files.

If you are using floppy drives, format 2 or 3 blank disks for use. If you are using a hard drive, set up blank partitions for your Program Files and/or Boot files.

Specific System Requirements At this point, you may also need to make some changes to your program overlays for your system to work correctly. You should consult the section on "Specific Hardware Requirements" if you are using a fastloader cartridge, an ICT hard drive, or an Avatex 1200 modem (not the Avatex 1200 HC). These three hardware devices require special code in the overlays to make the BBS system work correctly. The files hold line changes that you will have to incorporate into the overlay the filename is identifying:
