G'day Philip, Yep, I've read through that section several times in an attempt to reconfigure the drive parameters on the Kaypro to support a larger disk on the SD card reader. But that one is currently beyond me. :-) That's why I was so happy when you built a 3.5Mb drive on REXCPM. And I'll

Exactly, altering the drive tables of the Linux emulator should enable execution of an M100 CP/M image I would think. Conversely, massaging the image to suit what the emulator expects might be the way to go. You'd need to be conversant with "CP/M Alteration Guide" - it contains all info
