Hi Jeff and Josh,

 

I got Josh's new firmware v1.2 today and put it in. 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.

 

Thanks guys,

 

Harold

Hi Harold, 
   I saw Josh's reply to you in which he has a link the latest firmware 
and CP/M image on the Wiki page for the board.  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. 
Regards, 
Jeff
