[Coco] Nother question, deldir in a script this time

[Retro Canada]

can you format the /x0 if so you can backup from it to /sh too. i was doing it.

try to remove the midi and network stuff    and you should be able to format a floppy. i think the best would be having multiple boots for the desired action and make an autoexec. bas that will automatically link it.
