Re: FORMATTING THE uSD
Thanks Lee.
I used parted to examine the uSD and discovered it was basic fat 16.
I come from a time when a ST506 (5MB) seemed like more space than usable..
That lasted maybe a month.? Most systems

Re: FORMATTING THE uSD
It apparently does but that is not helpful.
Man page on my system says the same thing save for I get...
:mkfs.fat: unable to open /dev/sdb: No medium found
Same for all variants of? sdb (stick)...?

Re: A Z80 Asm rec
I used DRI's MAC80 and Microsoft's M80 for most of my Z80 programming. Later I got the SLR180 assembler, which was the fastest and most versatile Z80 assembler. I used it to write a lot of code for

Re: FORMATTING THE uSD
Hi Allison,
Yes, the SD-card has to be formatted FAT16. This is also why you can't use cards over 2 Gb. It's hard for me to imagine needing over 2 Gb on a computer as small as the Z80MC!
Since small

Re: FORMATTING THE uSD
I'm pretty sure mkfs.fat will create a FAT16 disk -- from the man page, "mkfs.fat? is? used? to? create an MS-DOS filesystem under Linux on a device".

Re: FORMATTING THE uSD
If it's not FAT16, the SD Init will fail and let you know it's a bad partition type.?

Re: FORMATTING THE uSD
Problem solved... Used a old(CA 2004) Compaq pentium based machine running
NT4 that would do FAT16.
However the drd was already formatted fat 16.
Solved.

FORMATTING THE uSD
The supplied uSD with the Z80MC according to the docs must be formatted FAT16...
Mine out of the box has a label Z80-SIO... a good thing but was it formatted to FAT 16?
If not I have one more system

Need to find out how ASMZ80 does it.? Perhaps you will need to mask the address and shift it?

Re: A Z80 Asm rec
Never mind...? Even if the cross assembler were right I'd still have to heavily edit
the code for a CP/M native assembler.
I'd briefly considered feeding the ZASMV20 to BDS C compiler but it

ASMZ80? does not digest the following:

OR? ? ? ? LOW LED_DISPLAY

Re: Z80 1st boot (wooot!)
Just a note there were versions of CP/M late in the game for Z8000 and 68000
that were the basic system written in C.? It turns out the 68K? had a instruction
