Howdy All,
Thanks again to Jeff for taking care of my M100 with the PCSG ROM Bank
and Chipmunk drive (links below). I have been having quite the time
writing programs to work with the Chipmunk. However, since I pieced this
all together in some cases by pure luck, I have yet to have a Utility
Diskette. Having only dreamed of owning this setup in the mid-80s, I had
forgotten the features and assumed the drive would function something
like the TPDD. I had forgotten what made the Chipmunk special to me was
the Chipmunk PDOS is in ROM onboard the drive, which means no boot disk
to load "FLOPPY.CO," and direct/RANDOM in BASIC to access files on the
drive. The Utility Disk does not boot, but it does have sample programs
and additional feature files that can be added to the M100; e.g. Up/Down
loading directly to/from diskette. That said, It looks like there are
files on GitHub (link below) to actually build the diskette, but before
I started on that, thought I would ask and see if anyone might have a
PCSG/Holmes Chipmunk Utility Disk and if they could send a copy my way?
