I think most people would use cpmtools to write to a disk image and then write that image to a disk or convert it to a format that your gotek firmware can read. Some might also use 22disk if they have an old DOS machine with a floppy drive/gotek.
Homebrew needs to be modified to work with other rom versions. The loader required needs to promoted more and made easier, so more developers use it. Until that happens there are 2 roms you can use that should run everything:
ONABU supports floppy, homebrew and the cycles (NABU channel)...

Takes a while but CPM booted. I can't view my previous OSBORNE1 .dsk files anymore, they show up as NABU disks. Is there a way to turn it off or are we converting to NABU format now?
