Subject: Bonzoed CP/M disk

Hi.  I somehow goofed up my CP/M disk for my Radio Shack Model II.  I
just bought the computer a few weeks ago.  It has one drive and one
Corvus hard disk (20 Meg).  I have (had) a disk which I could boot up
and it would go over to the hard disk.  Everything was working fine until
I ran some utility called TRS2CPM (or something like that on the
TRS-DOS diskette), and it asked me to switch disks a few times and
then it said something like "No Files Found".  No, I don't know what I
was doing, and I don't have a CP/M manual.  Here is the problem - the
system boots off of the floppy and looks like this :

63.00 K RADIO SHACK MODEL II CP/M VERSION 2.23F

COPYRIGHT (C) 1981, 1982 BY ATON INTERNATIONAL, INC.

COPYRIGHT (C) 1979 BY DIGITAL RESEARCH, INC.

(serial number information)

A>CLINK2 <- this is pulled from an autoexec.bat file

   --- CORVUS LINK INSTALLED ---

A>C:     <- also pulled from a file
C>

And that is all she wrote -- The system will not take ANY keyboard
input.  My other disks work okay (TRS-DOS), but the CP/M disk no
longer takes input.  I have the original disk and it doesn't boot at
all.  I'm lost, I know nothing about CP/M, and I haven't found anyone
around here that has ever heard of ATON international.

My theory -- somehow I must have messed up BDOS so that it no longer
takes keyboard input.  I also have Pickles and Trout CP/M, but it
won't read an ATON disk.. TRS-DOS doesn't want to read it either.

Thanks,
