Rick: I am finally ready to buy a disk drive for my M100. I have found a
gentleman who has a 100K drive with docs for sale. I am confused about the
operation of the disk. After speaking to him for a while, he said that his disk
drive did not come with a boot disk or the oft mentioned utility disk.
Instead, he said he thought he still had a tape that came with the unit.  How
does one boot this machine with a disk? I plan to write assembly language
programs. That means crashes and cold starts will plague me. Once a cold start
occurs, how do I get the DOS back into my M100? He wants me to make him an
offer and I do not know a fair price. Any suggestions? I appreciate the help.
