Revision as of 12:00, 28 April 2018
Graduate software provided a version of CP/M+ on ROM.
Additional 'utility' roms contained CP/M programs installed on a ROM.
Structure of a utility ROM
Each ROM is 16KB and has the following structure:
| Offset (Hex) | Count | Description |
| 0 | 48 | Description of ROM (note 1) |
| &30 | 208 | Loading code (note 2) |
| &100 | 256 | Directory (note 3) |
| &200 | &3e00 | Data area for files. |
Each directory entry has the following structure:
| Offset (Hex) | Count | Description |
| 0 | 8 | Filename (note 4) |
| 8 | 1 | ? (unknown &20) |
| 9 | 2 | address in ROM for start of data for file (note 3) |
| 11 | 2 | length in bytes of file |
| 14 | 2 | (unknown) &feff |
Notes
1. Utility ROM 1 has this description: "Graduate (C)1988 CP/M Accessory Rom 1\r\n$VER 2.30 "
2. Code is copied from &c000-&c100 to &3f00-&4000 in RAM.

- used?
- BC = 7F8x with bit 3 clear. bits 1,0 are mode.
- HL = address to read from ROM

3. Up to 16 files can be defined. Each file takes 1 entry. Unused entries are filled with &FF.
4. Filename is in upper case, 8 characters long, padded with spaces. '.COM' extension is assumed when accessed.
5. ROM starts at &c000. Therefore &c200 is the start of the first file.
