Those who have signed up for a REXCPM board may like to check out this
wiki page on M100 CP/M:
http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=M100_CP/M
It has all the info for installing CP/M, special features, importing
software, etc.
I look forward to seeing what CP/M applications become
Doug,
I took a good look at the situation, and attempted to bend pins such that I
could make it work, but unfortunately ... I can't.
REXCPM is much taller than REX, and so there is less height to play with
and still be able to close the hatch cover.
REXCPM is also a touch wider, to fit into the

I don't think anybody is suggesting this is going to be a permanent situation.
Remember that this is all still under

If you've already broken compatibility in other ways for the speed, then
what's the argument anyway?
I see no reason for rexcpm to be limited to 6.2. A real drive isn't, and
it's a pretty easy change for the few tpdd servers that are current.
Rexcpm already breaks compatibility all kinds of
Also, I'm not concerned about the 8.3 vs. 6.2 filename format since
that is no more difficult to manage than I have now with the NADSBox.
So it's a non-issue for me.

standard LaddieAlpha works fine for me, just have to in the near term work
around the 6.2 and 8.3 file name format. no biggie.

True but none of the TPDD services were designed to support the new 8.3 use
What kind of term/comm program are you including with CP/M?

it is an issue for LaddieAlpha, Nadsbox and other clients to ensure support
for that. Has nothing to do with REXCPM. REXCPM is a piece of hardware.
CP/M contains 2 utilities for reading and writing to TPDD. CP/M is 8.3.
The client has to "not choke" on 8.3.

TPDD protocol supports 8.3.
There is no reason I see the tpdd code in rexcpm can't do tpdd with full
native filenames, if full native filenames are only 8.3.

Thanks Steve, that is perfect! That right there makes it far more
usable than the "proprietary format -> CP/M disk image -> text file"
solution.
I just realized that the wiki at
http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=M100_CP/M exists and if I was
paying attention, I would have got my answer
the only caveat is that NADSbox,LaddieAlpha etc are 6.2 format and CPM is
8.3 format. So right now you need to adjust the file names to go through a
6.2 transfer mechanism, and correct it on the other end.

TPDD protocol, direct files usable on PC. Same model as M100, identical.

Hi Steve,
Yes, I mean the CP/M RAM disk, for want of a better word :-)
Does that mean that the files are transferred to SDCard (I have a
NADSBox) as plain files that I could then read on my PC?
I'm contrasting with the SD card floppy emulation on my Kaypro 2X which
stores almost proprietary
Bert, by "the disk" you mean the CP/M storage? Yes, Philip has utilities
for import and export. TPDD based

Hi Steve,
Just one last question: Does REXCPM allow you to preserve any file on
the disk to another physical disk using NADSBox, LaddieAlpha, or similar
TPDD software? If not, how would you recommend achieving that? Thank you!
