I copied over the ETOS files and when I start ETOS I get the following error message:

PiDP-8/I trunk:id[eb70641759] [pinctrl I/O] [ils] [stdpcb] [gpio] [rt]

Welcome to David Gesswein's ETOS system
Type help to obtain assistance
?CANNOT FIND OS8DISK.DSK


I can't find that file or where it is referenced.  Without it ETOS doesn't seem to be able to do anything because it can't find SYS: or DSK:

Any ideas?

Thanks,

        Mike

Apparently this is normal when logging in as the operator.
