S100 Computers

S100 Computers CPM, MSDOS etc. CF Card Images
This page contains complete CF Card downloadable images that should allow you to immediately have CPM3 up on running with S100Computers disk controller boards.
It is assumed you are familiar with CPM3, its BIOS and how it works.
Please see Bringing Up CPM3 on a Hard Disk, Bringing Up CPM3 on a Floppy Disk and Creating Bootable CPM3.SYS Disks if not.

Here is a list of the boards themselves.
IDE/CF Card Board (all versions).
FPGA_DC Disk Controller Boards (The IDE and IDE+FDC versions)
Z80 SBC
FPGA Z80 SBC
IDE/CF + SD Board
IDE/CF + Dual SD card Board
Dual SD Card Board alone.

Note ALL the images below are on 4GB Kingston or Verbatim CF Cards.
You cannot get a proper image if the CF card sizes are different.

Non-Banked CPM CF Card Images
These are the simplest systems to get up and running. So long as you have 60K of RAM and the Propeller Console IO Board you should be able to boot CPM3 immediately.

CPM3 CF Card Image #1.
This is probably the simplest Non-Banked CPM3 system you can have. It uses only two CF cards on the IDE/CF card board and has no Floppy disk access.
It will boot from all the following S100Computers Disk Controller boards:-


IDE/CF card board (All versions)	FPGA-DC +IDE Board	FPGA_DC_IDE+FCD Board

FPGA Z80 SBC	Z80 SBC	IDE-2CF+1SD Board

Just use the Z80 Master Monitor "P" command. For the FPGA-DC boards make sure you have the IOBYTE/Dip switch in the Monitor Commands mode (Switch 7 open) and allow enough time for the board to initialize.

Click (Image-1) IDE-CF-AB Non-Banked CPM3.imgc to download the CF card image.
It is a sector image of a 2 CF Card Drive Bootable CPM3 on a 4GB Verbatim CF Card (From 1/23/2022)

Here is how it should signon:

You can use the onboard program IDE$DIAG.COM program to completely copy this disk/CF card (in A:) to a one in B:

Alternatively you can erase any old files in B: and use PIP B:=A:*.*[V] to copy everything across (including CPM3.sys and CCP.COM).
However in that case if you want to boot from that card you must write the CPM3 Boot loader to Track 0.
The program WR_BOOT.COM does this. Here is a session picture.

CPM3 CF Card Image #2
This is a Non-Banked CPM3 Disk with two CF cards on Drive A: and B: and up to four floppy disks.
It requires the Propeller Console IO Board for I/O and a 64K RAM board with RAM from 0H-EFFFH uninterrupted by ROM's etc.
It will only work with the FPGA_DC+IDE Board or the FPGA_DC+IDE+FDC Board.
You can in fact boot and use CPM3 on the Dual IDE/CF Boards its just the floppy disks will not be recognized.


	IDE/CF card All versions	FPGA-DC +IDE Board	FPGA_DC_IDE+FCD Board

Just use the Z80 Master Monitor "P" command.
Make sure you have the IOBYTE/Dip switch in the Monitor Commands mode (Switch 7 open) and allow enough time for the board to initialize..

Click (Image-2) FPGA_DC-AB+ Floppies Non-Banked CPM3.imgc to download the CF card image.
It is a sector image on a 4GB Verbatim CF Card (From 10/20/2021)
Here is how it should signon:

CPM3 CF Card Image #3.
This is in fact a simplifier Non-Banked CPM3 BIOS than Image#1. Its really only for basic debugging issues since it has only one IDE/CF Card and has no Floppy disk access.
It will boot from all the following S100Computers Disk Controller boards:-


IDE/CF card board (All versions)	FPGA-DC +IDE Board	FPGA_DC_IDE+FCD Board

FPGA Z80 SBC	Z80 SBC	IDE-2CF+1SD Board

Just use the Z80 Master Monitor "P" command. For the FPGA-DC boards make sure you have the IOBYTE/Dip switch in the Monitor Commands mode (Switch 7 open) and allow enough time for the board to initialize..

Click (Image-3) IDE_CF-A Non-Banked CPM3.imgc to download the CF card image.
It is a sector image of a 1 CF Card Drive Bootable CPM3 on a 4GB Verbatim CF Card (From 1/23/2022)
Here is how it should signon:

CPM3 CF Card Image #7
"ZSOS" (Z80 SBC OS) is a CP/M 3 distribution written by Dave Fry (and Dave Mehaffy - now deceased), that rearranges the CPM3 BIOS sectors/track so the are no 'holes"
in the track/sector numbering. The image files contain an extensive set of user areas:-

User Area 0: CP/M 3 Base Files
User Area 1: XMODEM + Kermit + MBASIC 5.29
User Area 2: SuperSoft Utilities
User Area 3: DDTZ Debugger (will need to be built from source)
User Area 4: BDS Tiny C
User Area 5: Games
User Area 6: Turbo Pascal 3.0
User Area 7: Development Utilities
User Area 8: <Available for additional user files>
User Area 9: <Available for additional user files>

It will boot from all the S100Computers Disk Controller boards:-


IDE/CF card board (All versions)	FPGA-DC +IDE Board	FPGA_DC_IDE+FCD Board

FPGA Z80 SBC	Z80 SBC

Just use the Z80 Master Monitor "P" command.
For the FPGA-DC boards make sure you have the IOBYTE/Dip switch in the Monitor Commands mode (Switch 7 open) and allow enough time for the board to initialize.
Click (Image-7) IDE-CF-A for ZSOS System Non-Banked CPM3.imgc to download the CF card image.
It is a sector image of a 2 CF Card Drive Bootable CPM3 on a 4GB Verbatim CF Card  (From 1/25/2022)

Here is how it should signon:

Note the use of CPM3 User Groups.
Remember you cannot read files from the (normal S100Computers) 61 sectors/track CF cards since the disk format is different.
