Hi everyone,Just a quick update. With help from Josh I found a bad IC on my board. Made the replacement and now the SD card is working!!!Now I need to understand how to use the SD card with CP/M. This is new to me. Are there any docs on how to transfer programs to the SD card?Again, thanks Josh! Harold
Hi Harold,I saw Josh's reply to you in which he has a link the latest firmware and CP/M image on the Wiki page for the board. I just wanted to share that I was initially confused on how to use the CP/M disk image with the SD card. I kept thinking that I had to use an imaging program like Windisk imager to create a usable disk but I reread the documentation and realized that all I had to do was copy the disk image file to the formatted SD card as Disk-A.bin. When you bring up the system It will find that image and present you with the option to boot CP/M. For all intents & purposes it looks just like a SSSD 8" diskette that is the original CP/M interchange format. I then followed Josh's instructions on how to use the monitor program's XMODEM command to transfer some additional files like MBASIC.COM and it worked as advertised.
