CPM2.2

Creating the DkTronics 61K TPA CPM 2.2

Boot into CPM2.2 from system discs:

A>disckit2

Use disckit2 to format a vendor disc. This will become 'Dk'Tonics CPM Disk'.

A>BOOTGEN Source is: CPM 2.2 disk Now insert 'Dk'tronics CPM Disk'.

This initialises the boot sector.

A>SYSGEN Source is CPM2.2 disk Destination is 'Dk'Tronics CPM Disk'

This puts CPM2.2 onto the disc.

A>FILECOPY movcpm.com Source is 'CPM 2.2 system disc' disk. Destination is 'Dk'Tronics CPM Disk' disk.

This puts movcpm.com onto the disk.

A>FILECOPY save.com Source is 'CPM 2.2 system disc' disk. Destination is 'Dk'Tronics CPM Disk' disk.

This puts save.com onto the disk.

A>FILECOPY newcpm.com Source is 'Dk'Tronics bank switch software' disk. Destination is 'Dk'Tronics CPM Disk' disk.

This transfers Dk'Tronics newcpm.com.

A>FILECOPY oldcpm.com Source is 'Dk'Tronics bank switch software' disk. Destination is 'Dk'Tronics CPM Disk' disk.

This transfers Dk'Tronics oldcpm.com.

Now boot the Dk'Tronics CPM Disk.

A>MOVCPM 255 *

This configures a 63K CPM.

A>SAVE 34 NEWCPM.SYS

This saves a 63K CPM for Dk'Tronics CPM to use.

Your Dk'Tronics CPM is setup.

Technical

  • 61K TPA is now active until NEWCPM.COM is run.
  • 61K CPM is stored in "NEWCPM.SYS".
  • NEWCPM.COM loads NEWCPM.SYS.
  • 7FC1/7FC2 is used.
