where X is the drive letter, from **A** to **P**. If you have created multiple files referring to the same drive letter, *CP/M* will use the ones named **cpm-X** in preference to the ones named **drv-X.** It has no preference over **.p3d** or **.dsk**, so if there is a **cpm-b.p3d** and a **cpm-b.dsk**, then the first one in the directory will be used.

Note that *NextZXOS* will also automatically mount these drive images (except any image where **X** is **c**) when it starts up. You can view them in the *Browser* (press **D** to change drives) and copy files between them etc. NextZXOS will mount **drv-X** files in preference to **cpm-X** files. You can also manually mount other disk images which don't follow the automatically-mounted naming scheme. To do this, just press **ENTER** on the **.p3d** or **.dsk** file in the *Browser*.

### Further information

There is a lot to learn about *CP/M*, and a lot you can do with it. Some useful places for further information are listed below:

**http://www.cpm.z80.de/**  Contains a lot of manuals, documentation and software.

In particular, the *CP/M 3 User Guide*, *Command Summary and Programmers' Manuals* can be found in the following locations:

<table>
<tbody>
<tr><td><b>http://www.cpm.z80.de/manuals/cpm3-usr.pdf</b></td><td>User Guide</td></tr>
<tr><td><b>http://www.cpm.z80.de/manuals/cpm3-cmd.pdf</b></td><td>Command Summary</td></tr>
<tr><td><b>http://www.cpm.z80.de/manuals/cpm3-pgr.pdf</b></td><td>Programmer's Manual</td></tr>

</table>

A good starting point is also:

### Preparing your ZX Spectrum Next for esxDOS

Other than *NextZXOS, CP/M* and *+3e/IDEDOS*, your ZX Spectrum Next supports natively one more Operating System called *esxDOS*. This is especially helpful when running Eastern European software as the preferred method of storage is using *TRDOS* which *esxDO*S supports natively. Unfortunately the copyright status of some parts of *esxDOS* prohibits its inclusion in the **System/Next**™ distribution, but that doesn't mean you cannot install it yourself. *esxDOS* can be invaluable for personalities other than the *Next Native* one as it provides older model personalities with an easy way of managing *FAT* formatted SD cards. As is the case with *NextZXOS*, it too uses *FAT* as the primary filesystem and thanks to *NextZXOS*' design, it can therefore co-exist on the same drive without clashes.

In order to install esxDOS you need to do a few things first:
