Z80 - mc-2g-1024
- The specifications are:
- New ROM monitor with multi-boot capability, Format, Getsys and Putsys tools and debug capabilities. No BASIC in ROM.
- SD-HC capable card controller.
- Multi volume disk system, which currently supports upto 254 8MB disk volumes (which uses 2GB+ on the SD-card). All these volumes can be loaded with a separate OS bootimage.
- OSes configured with 3 drives: A:, B: and C:. A: is the system drive (holding the volume booted from) while B: and C: can be assigned and re-assigned one of the remaining volumes. Also a RAM disk for CP/M 2 and CP/M 3
- Y2k compatible system clock (date and time) for all OSes.
- mc-2g-1024 on retrobrew site
- Supports:
- Dos+ 2.5
- CP/M 2.2
- CP/M 3.1
- ZSDOS 1.1 / ZCPR2
- ZPM3 /ZCCP
- NASCOM “ROM” BASIC 4.7
S1 - CP/M 2.2 - Dos+ 2.5 - CCP+ Ver 2.2
- This is an unpatched implementation by C.B. Falconer's Dos+ version 2.5.
- Please read the documentation to switch on the optional features.
- Because this OS treats console input differently (it checks for user breaks after each character it outputs) the original DOWNLOAD.COM no longer works.
- It was modified to use direct BIOS I/O to circumvent the above behaviour, but because after every file the command prompt is displayed some characters are still lost.
- This is circumvented by padding the input file with enough spaces to make up for the lost characters.
- This version of DOWNLOAD.COM also works under CP/M 2.2 and CP/M 3.
- A way to work around this is to just download all the files you want under CP/M 2.2 to the target disk mounted as B: or C:
- Dos+ implements a search path which is initialized by the command STARTUP.COM.
- STARTUP.COM is automatically run when the system is first booted.
- STARTUP.COM can be any .COM command you like, as long as the name does not change.
- Mounting drives is done with the MOUNT.COM tool.
S2 - CP/M 2.2
- This OS is as was provided by Grant Searle.
- It uses a new BIOS, providing mountable volumes, a Ramdisk and a clock.
- All Grant's tools work as intended, in particular the original DOWNLOAD.COM.
- The start address for the initial download of "DOWNLOAD.COM" (backdoor startup) from the provided .HEX file has changed to FFFB.
