Well, I have built and tested everything but I am sad to report that I am the victim of counterfeit components. All the 4MB SRAMs that I bought are actually 2MB SRAMs! I've complained to the seller, and we'll see what they say about their "certified" parts. 4 MB SRAMs are hard to find at a

REXCPM is all SRAM. It does not ship with software installed. You have to install the REX Manager "rom" file into REX using the RXCUTL.DO program. Did you do that? once you have the ROM image loaded into block 0, you can use the same CALL. Steve On Mon, Jun 29, 2020 at 8:22 PM Tom Dison

Perfectly suitable hack, yes. I would need to build it to debug it so it needs a ram on my end. To be honest I have been struggling with why 4MB is needed. A reasonable utility could easily push and pull files from LaddieAlpha as a remote drive. To be CP/M, you must have the local block

Quick question - in the directions it says install, restart and ensure Rex manager is running. I don't see rexmgr. With the REX I had to do, call 63012. That didn't work with this. Is there a similar call statement for this? On Mon, Jun 29, 2020, 6:38 PM Stephen Adolph wrote: > Well, I have
