I have posted on the Cromemco google group but I wanted to post here too. I have a Cromemco C-10 that is mostly running but can't get it to boot off floppy disk. I have tried all of the images for the C-10 in the Cromemco repository and none boot the machine.
Does anyone have an image for a C-10 that they know works? The ROM on the machine is older style that only has CROS and not CDOS built in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I was able to get the Cromemco C-10 to boot. From the repository, not all images have cdos.com. If that file does not exist the machine will not boot. I use the files from 386C10-Release5B. I formatted a DS/DD disk with CDOS, and used wrtsys to copy c10boot.sys to the boot sector of the floppy. And then I copied cdos.com and copied files from most likely to be used to least likely. (if you copy cdos.com on last the floppy has to seek all the way to the end tracks to find it.)
After this process The machine booted to the C10 menu. Everything else works.
Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it.
