I've finally finished my SIO Card - long story!, and it seems to be
working fine, but I can't boot CPM.
I'm pretty sure the SD Card I have used (SanDisk 2GB Black) is the one
supplied with the kit.
Checking it on my W10 PC shows no files but around 100K of data used?
Booting the Z80MC and typing S shows a sub menu L and W. L prompts the
same sub menu and W and prompts to enter a file name? Entering a file
name like TEST.TXT just comes back with a ?. Have I overwritten the
system somehow?
I haven't been able to find any instructions on line. Is there a FAQ I
should be looking at? Can I download the files from somewhere?
Hi Paul,
I format the SD-card in FAT16; but do not pre-load the CP/M files onto it. The computer I'm using is running linux, and it's problematic to load the CP/M files on it because Josh's CP/M explorer is Windows. (I have to get another computer with a working Windows setup to do it).
If you look on my website, you'll find the files to load, and the CP/M explorer program to do it. Once you get them loaded, you should be all set!
Once CP/M is on the Z80MC, then it has the XMODEM program and can transfer any files or disk images with any PC "terminal" program that supports XMODEM.
