Hi,

Yes, copy all these files in the zip to the SD Card from your PC.? Insert SD Card to Z80MC.? Turn on and stand

Re: FORMATTING THE uSD
Its not clear in the docs or I have to reread them...
I assume the process is to use the PC to copy the contents bigboot.zip
after extraction to the uSD and that's it.

I think I've seen an ST506 back in the day... but for the most part, I was playing with ST-225's on PDP's.? 20Meg was very nice but still not enough for any large systems.
For the big 8Meg disks, I

Re: FORMATTING THE uSD
Hi:
If I comprehend the question, you're not sure how to tell what file system the SD card is formatted for?
And further, how to format a partition as FAT16?
On WINDOWS, go to "MY COMPUTER" and

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

It apparently does but that is not helpful.
Man page on my system says the same thing save for I get...

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
