Now CP/M is working!!! I am using Tera Term to transfer programs. I transferred MBASIC.COM using XMODEM to the B: drive on CP/M. It worked great!! However it has been awhile since I used the save routine. Had to make sure I had enough pages allocated. The first time I did save enough space.

I just wanted to share that I was initially confused on how to use the CP/M disk image with the SD card. I kept thinking that I had to use an imaging program like Windisk imager to create a usable disk but I reread the documentation and realized that all I had to do was copy the disk image file to the formatted SD card as Disk-A.bin. When you bring up the system It will find that image and present you with the option to boot CP/M. For all intents & purposes it looks just like a SSSD 8" diskette that is the original CP/M interchange format. I then followed Josh's instructions on how to use the monitor program's XMODEM command to transfer some additional files like MBASIC.COM and it worked as advertised.
