David, you're not alone in the confusion, I encourage you to document your process going from zero to loaded program for others.
Basically you start by transferring a "DOS" to the M100, which can then talk to the "Disk Servers" mentioned, bear in mind we're using DOS in a literal sense, the M100 has no concept of operating a Disk Drive without a Disk Operating System loaded. Getting DOS loaded involves copying a DO file via hyper terminal/TELCOM (you can't directly transfer CO files via TELCOM), which can then load the DOS, I'm obviously paraphrasing but hopefully you see where I'm going. 1. Transfer DOS "loader" DO file via serial terminal on PC and TELCOM on M100. 2. Run the DOS "loader" to load DOS .CO on the M100. 3. Run Disk Server on PC. 4. Run DOS on M100 to access Disk Server. Process is different when you can load DOS from ROM/REX, but I'm not that cool. (Laddie Alpha can inject TEENY DOS right? Or is it DLPlus?) - Lee - 909.437.0250 - Destroying technology problems.
