Master and
Slave Diskettes
INIT
initializes a
diskette
as
a
slave
diskette. A
slave
diskette's
DOS
is
memory
size
dependent.
i.e.
the
diskette
commonly
can
be used
on
a system
with
the
same
amount
of
RAM
as
the
system
on
which
the
diskette
was
created.
A
slave
diskette
can be
converted
to
a
master
diskette by using
the
MASTER CREA
TE
program
on
your
System Master diskette. A
master diskette's
DOS
is
self-relocating.
This allows
memory
to
be
allocated
more
efficiently.
The
following
procedure
should
be
followed
to
convert
a slave
diskette
to
a master.
Step
1:
" Insert
the
slave diskette
into
the
drive
and
run
the
greet-
ings
program
.
