Roger on the time constraints! I've been looking around the source code to
see if I might want to tackle some kind of time simplifying transfer
utility. Sure I've done xmodem transfers plenty of times. I'm looking to
maybe simply that process.
Do you have any notes on how you originally created disk images? Something
I might RTFM on? :-)
I'm seeing some interesting routines in the ROM monitor that might make
another menu item in the Monitor handy. Like this one WRITE_SECTOR:
;If we were transfering to a FILE, this is where we would write the
;sector and reset HL to the same 128 byte sector buffer.
;CALL WRITE_SECTOR
But while in the (M)onitor there are no DISK-x.BIN images mounted right?
Can one be mounted / written to while still in the monitor?
I'm thinking 'A' for add, or 'C' for copy additional menu item utility
function in the monitor.
- Write / put a 8x3 named file(s) on the SD card from your PC
- Put the card in the cp/m 8080 board and boot to (M)onitor. In the
Monitor (C)opy to a DISK-x.BIN image, this M->C command would either
- Present a directory listing and solicit a file name (dir listing of
the SD card already exists in Monitor)
- or maybe for simplicity just expect a specific file name to be
present like say: 'UPLOADTO.LBR' (ensure that LU utilities are on the
DISK-x.BIN images).
- are there LU utilities that run on ms/dos without the need to
fire up an emulator?
- or, maybe better yet, have an UPLOADS or XFER sub directory on
the SD card. Place the files you want to move from the SD card to the
DISK-x.BIN image in there. (C)opy just blindly transfers those to a
DISK-x.BIN image.
Just thinking out loud... comments, suggestions welcome....
