Re: [M100] CPM emulation

2020-11-12 Thread Joshua O'Keefe
Since I asked the original question about CP/M emulation I thought I should share what I had been using to prompt it: This emulator has BDOS integration directly to the filesystem (no getunix/putunix because it just sees the host directory): https://github.com/jhallen/cpm It seems to work

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

keeping my experiment rolling ;) I just received the "high speed rated" NSC800, supporting 4MHz. Now, I did successfully run the 2.5 MHz rated part at 5MHz, so I will be interested to see if the 4MHz part is really any faster in the M100. as usual, I will report back. On Fri, Nov 6, 2020 at

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

Hello, When I looked at this, I saw that it was based on the z80 code written by Parag Patel that I had been using. It compiled for me without any issues, and uses the same image structure (for the A-Hdrive) as the one I had been using, so it could open the cpm disk images I had already

Perhaps Philip can comment when he sees this. The tool I wrote to do backups, isn't purely a binary dump of the disk contents. It could be, though. What RXCUTL does (by memory here... ;) ) is there is a first byte providing the block #, followed by 16k of block data. (or 32k, not sure now).

Hello, That's interesting because my 'ancient code' compiles and even works with putunix and getunix. But when I looked at what was on github and what I have, there are differences. As you stated, if I took out the -DPOSIX_TTY from the Makefile, the github source compiled for me, and I could
