Guys, am I missing something here. Why not put together a normal CPM3 disk layout on a clean/new CF card and just copy from sector 0 all the way in to the last file written on the card. Save this as one (large) file. That’s the file we then need to somehow get on to copy CF cards. The MYIDE program will do the copying (could even me modified to pass via serial port to PC). That way no worry about what is where on disk. With the “landmarks” I mentioned previously any console I/O port can be used.

Any suggestions?

No, the AU entry values are the same and don't need changing because they are just a pointer to file location (in clusters of 4 sectors) referenced to the start of the Directory (sector 64) regards David Fry On Wednesday, June 18, 2014 11:59:24 PM UTC+1, Thomas Owen wrote: Hello David and Dave, This has really been a very interesting project for me and I appreciate all the help and information you two have provided. I have looked over the attachment and it seems very straightforward to making the changes I need. Since I obviously can't wait, I will be working on this tomorrow and have a couple questions: When you say 'move everything up by one' are you referring to loader 0 -> 1, sys 127 -> 128, directory 63 -> 64? What about all the AU designations in the directory? Will they all shift up by one as well?
