I have a working system now - my problem turned out to be the Compact Flash itself.  Many thanks to all that pointed me in the right direction, and to David Fry that did a lot of the work in this 'no holes' version.

Since the version David offered online does not contain any system files or utilities, I am copying those over to my new system drive now.

Thanks again,

Thomas

Hello David,

I see what you mean about the data discrepancy - I have 2 Kingston 8G and will try the second one right now.  I will also have a couple of 512MB tomorrow to try.
The data loss and/or problem could be the entire issue her, but I have attached the two files you requested.

Regards,

Thomas

Now that I have my IDE card passing all the preliminary tests, I am trying to install CP/M on the Compact Flash drive and get the system to boot.

 

System:

Compupro ZPU at 2 mhz.

IDE CF Card, version 2.0a

IMSAI SIO for console

Ram 17 with Eprom installed at ‘E000’

8 gb Kingston CF

 

Have read, and re-read all the articles I can on the site, and decided to use the method put together by David Fry found here.

 

http://s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/IDE%20Board/Z80%20CP_M%203.0%20build.pdf

 

Step 1 - I modified HLDRBIOS.ASM to support my Console device (IMSAI SIO)

 

Step 2 - I modified CHARIO3.ASM to support my Console device

 

Step 3 - Assembled and built the CPMLDR.COM

 

Step 4 - Copied it to the CF at Sector 0

 

Step 5 - Assembled and built the CPM3.SYS and copied it to the CF at sector 112

 

Step 6 - Moved sector 48 to sector 63 on the CF

 

I know the install is not complete, but at this point I wanted to see what a ‘Boot’ looked like from David’s MYIDEROM:


At boot I see displayed on the console and MYIDEROM reports this drive information:

 

Cyl:      3C82               Heads:            010                 Sectors:  0048

 

Then I choose ‘C’ for Boot CP/M and here is where I see a problem:






Notice the ‘LBA = 003C003C’.   Why is that value so high and incorrect?

 

Any suggestions to getting is completed?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Thomas
