Hi Jeff and Josh,
I got Josh's new firmware v1.2 today and put it in. Now CP/M is working!!!
I am using Tera Term to transfer programs. I transferred MBASIC.COM using XMODEM to the B: drive on CP/M. It worked great!! However it has been awhile since I used the save routine. Had to make sure I had enough pages allocated. The first time I did save enough space.
Thanks guys,
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.
Regards,
Jeff
