I am trying to run the Z80 CP/M emulator, called Z80MU, on an Olivetti M24
using MS-DOS 2.11. According to the documentation  after the emulator
(Z80MU.COM) is loaded it looks for a file called "AUTOEXEC.Z80". If it
does not find this file the documentation says that it just issues an
error message and waits for commands from the keyboard. When I run it on
 the system above, it seems to load OK but after the emulator does not find
"autoexec.z80" it drops back into MS-DOS and does not stay in the
emulator.Can anyone tell me what is wrong here. Is it that the emulator
will *only* run on IBM machines (with PC-DOS) and not on compatables
 with MS-DOS or
what? Anyhelp would be appreciated. P.S. I have tried running it with an
empty file called "autoexec.z80" on the boot disk, but it makes no difference!
