Multiboot Multicomp (MULTIBOOT_CPM)

  • CP/M Multiboot - Runs MultiComp 512KB SRAM version
  • Insert "M/CPM 512KB" SD card
  • Insert USB B cable
  • Run PuTTY
    • 115,200 baud
  • Card will power up and cycle through all the LEDs on the Front Panel
  • Press SW25 (upper left button) on Front Panel For 8 Bit Computers to run Multiboot software
  • PuTTY will display
Press [SPACE] to activate console
  • Press SPACE
  • Press H for help menu

  Available Commands:

  :ccxxxxiibbbbbb       Load Intel-Hex file record
  Rxxxx         Run from address xxxx
  Sddd          System boot
  Iddd          Init: Format directory
  Pddd[,xxxx]   PutSys: write system image[,loadaddress]
                (No address: re-use last loadaddress)
  Gddd[,xxxx]   GetSys: load system track

  Dxxxx[,yyyy]  Dump memory from xxxx [,to yyyy]
                D (no address) shows next block
  Cxxxx         Change/show memory at xxxx
                CR advances "," quits

  ddd is a decimal volume number,
  xxxx, yyyy is a hexadecimal address.
  Leading zeros may be omitted.
  ESC or ^C aborts.

Mount Primary Volume

Mount Additional Volumes

  • Mount additional drives using mount command
  • Additional Volumes
    • Inspired by mc-2g-1024 original but modified
    • Sources from here
    • Mount using mount d vol
      • Ex: mount b: 9 will mount ZCPR3 Utilities A-O as drive b:
      • Can mount different drive with same command
    • Volume.008 - ?
    • Volume.009 - ZCPR3 Utilities A-O
    • Volume.010 - ZCPR3 Utilities P-Z
    • Volume.011 - Wordstar, DBase, SuperCal
    • Volume.012 - Games
    • Volume.013 - MuMath
    • Volume.014 - Documentation
    • Volume.015 - Languages (TurboPascal, Fortran, BBC BASIC)
    • Volume.016 - Languages (Algol, Aztec C, APL, PLI, FORTH)
    • Volume.017 - Languages (BDS Tiny C, Janis Ada15, MS COBOL, PILOT)
    • Volume.018-253 - User volumes
