Default Re: Gemini 80-Bus System

Shortly after reset RPM tries to boot the floppy. If this fails it issues
its prompt and then looks for input. This check for input includes
the serial port.

If the boot suceeds cpm performs the io which does not include checking the
serial port for input.

As to the BAD DISK the clue is in the FAIIL - looks like xbeaver cannot read the
floppy image file.

I hope that helps.
