Re: [N8VEM-S100:4303] Re: Another route to write a CPM3 image to a CF card for the S100 IDE board
Dave -
Certainly a better solution, thanks!
If you need "alpha" testers give a shout.

I would discourage doing this - I hope to have 4 images up this
weekend that will solve the problem. The ones John has have the holes
in the filesystem which we have eliminated and having both flavors out
there is going to cause a lot of confusion. I plan to publish as a
starter the following 4 images. Banked with serial, Banked with prop
console, Non-Banked with serial and Non-Banked with prop console.
These images will support an A and B IDE drive and will have the
standard binaries found in CPM3 plus maybe some other goodies. These
images can be copied to a CF with win image as you suggest or dd if
you use Linux or Mac. This will allow people to get running very
quickly. I will follow this up with sources and general instruction
on how to build, modify the images and source to add new drivers, etc.
I need to do some cleanup of the sources and procedures for building
and modifying things - that is going to take me a week or so because I
want to do testing of the code. The four images I put up will have
booted on my machine (I hope - I have booted the serial ones but need
to finish off getting my prop console up tonight so I can test the
others).
