RE: [N8VEM-S100:40] Re: Z80 and SIO board running

["Andrew Lynch" <lyn...@yahoo.com>]

Hi!  Michael Haardt (N8VEM builder) has made these excellent CP/M tools for
Windows to assist in the moving of files to and from CP/M disk images.
We've used these for various N8VEM CP/M file manipulation and they work
great!  Maybe they could be adapted for this application?

The source code is available if anyone wants to take a whack at it.

Thanks and have a nice day!
