[Help] CPM - hp41cx - 06-26-2021 11:35 AM
How copy "HP 82900A System Disk" from ":D700" 5 1/4 drive to ":D760" 3 1/2 drive. Thanks

Are they both the same size disks?
If so, and also I assume you are using Series-80 (it's not stated):
COPY ":D700" TO ":D760"
should work.

5 1/4 to 3 1/2

Doesn't PIP work from inside CP/M?
pip b:=a:*.*[ORV]
b target disk, a source disk
O binary transfer
R copy system files
V verify each block

Of course, you did write that, I am asking about formatted size, e.g. SS/DD or DS/DD, etc.
Also, the target disk must be formatted before you do the copy, it is not a sector-by-sector copy, it's file-by-file, and the target is expected to be formatted by the INITIALIZE command.
