To create a working CP/M with a HD in the Superbrain from scratch you need:
Create a working bootdisk which has the modified CP/M ASM file linked-in, that ASM file has BDOS and BIOS modified with all HD parameters and I/O, where the floppy is assigned the A: drive in the ASM file.
You need to have the original CP/M sysgen file (floppy only), the HD BIOS BDOS ASM file, ASM assembler, Linker, DDT and an editor.
To format the HD, as I recall, there should be a file something like "R6DTEST.COM"
The format program is stand alone, you do not need to have CP/M linked already to recognise the HD.
Prerequisite is the possession of the files mentioned.
Hello Ton,
Thanks for your explanation...
"Prerequisite is the possession of the files mentioned." Well that is exactly the problem.
I'm afraid I don't have any of these files.
That's why I've put a sysgen from the harddisk onto a floppy . Here should be all the HD information I think.
Maybe it's possible to get the files from there, but that's probably the hardest way. But the only way for
me at this moment. And still I would not have the formattool...
Better scrap the thing
