I  feel real stupid on this one, but when I saw your  example  on
how  ZCPR3  should log on I realized what was wrong. In  a  hotel
room  in Oakland, CA last Tuesday night I went over my  printouts
and  saw  that my bios was never initializing the  ZCPR3  buffers
with the initialization data. Remember the one time I did get the
prompt  'A0>' and though I had success? Well I remembered that  I
never  saw  the  "STARTUP ?"!@##!<-these  are  curse  marks.  The
mistake was that I had the following code placed just before  the
label "GOW:" like this:

        IF      ZCPR3
        ANA     A
        CZ      INICPR          ;initialize ZCPR3
        ENDIF
GOW:    PUSH    PSW
        MVI     A,MI$JMP

OH heck, since nothing was missing there was no assembly  errors,
but as you can see INICPR never got called during COLD BOOT. That
explains  also random results since buffers  uninitialized  would
have random values in them.
I have your GEmail items and regret you having to waste your time
on this. Thanks a bunch.
I  now  have a working softsector 80trk disk with ZCPR3  and  the
"STARTUP  ?"  question.  I'll proceed  onward  now  with  forming
STARTUP.COM and get back to you on results.
I discovered that I can not get ZCPR3 onto the hard drive because
the  subsystem  can not use the original SYSGEN.COM. BUT  IF  you
have  and idea on how to integrate ZCPR3.HEX with MOVCPM37.COM  I
can  regenerate  a  new version of  my  QSPUTSYS.COM  which  will
transfer  new  CCP anywhere I want including HARD  DRIVE!  I  saw
equate  in  ZCPR3.ASM for CPRLOC that will ORG 0  for  REL  file.
Could I just DDT'it into MOVCPM37 some how?// Check back with you
in 24 hours// Thanks again // J.T.
