===== QP/M Disk for RomWBW ===== |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This disk contains the distribution files for the QP/M Operating |
|
|
|
System. The disk is initially set up to boot CP/M 2.2. You |
|
|
|
must use the QINSTALL program to install QP/M on the boot |
|
|
|
tracks and subsequently boot QP/M. |
|
|
|
System. The disk is bootable with QP/M already installed on the |
|
|
|
system tracks. The qpm.sys file and the QP/M image on the system |
|
|
|
tracks was created using QINSTALL with default settings EXCEPT |
|
|
|
for the two settings described under Notes (current drive/user |
|
|
|
storage address and TIMDAT vector). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
QINSTALL can be run again as desired to further customize your |
|
|
|
installation. However, note that QINSTALL does NOT remember prior |
|
|
|
settings, so you must reapply all settings you made previously |
|
|
|
especially the two setting changes described below. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This disk includes the standard DRI CP/M 2.2 files in addition to the |
|
|
|
QP/M files. QP/M generally assumes you already had DRI CP/M 2.2 |
|
|
|
prior to adding QP/M features. Since QP/M does not replace all |
|
|
|
features of CP/M 2.2, the CP/M 2.2 files are also included. |

RomWBW CBIOS has been modified to put the QP/M TIMDAT vector at 0x0010. The |
|
|
|
vector points into CBIOS where the actual TIMDAT routine is located. The |
|
|
|
TIMDAT routine reads the current date/time from HBIOS, changes the values from |
|
|
|
BCD to binary, and rearranges some bytes for QP/M compatibilty. |

BCD to binary, and rearranges some bytes for QP/M compatibilty. When |
|
|
|
running QINSTALL, you should set the TIMDAT vector to 0x0010 to |
|
|
|
enabled QP/M to use your RomWBW real time clock. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, DEBUGZ utilizes the RST 38 restart vector for setting |
|
|
|
code brakpoints. This conflicts the use of that vector for any |
|
|
|
system that is using interrupt mode 1. DEBUGZ can be configured |
|
|
|
(using DBGINST) to use a different vector. |
|
|
|

|
The QSTAMP program, which is used to initialize a disk for date/time |
|
|
|
stamping, misbehavews when run on the (new) RomWBW 1024 directory |
|
|
|
format disks. It creates an invalid directory entry for the |
|
|
|
date/time stamp data file. This is definitely a QP/M issue. The |
|
|
|
directory entry can be manually corrected. |

|
== ZSDOS 1.1 Files == |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following files came from the official QP/M distribution. Actually, |
|
|
|
they came from 3 Microcode Consulting files (qpm27.zip, debugz.zip, |
|
|
|
and linkz.zip). The original distribution files can be found on the |
|
|
|
Microcode Consulting website at https://www.microcodeconsulting.com/. |
|
|
|
Documentation (pdf) files are incuded in these original distribution |
|
|
|
.zip files. These documentation files have not been included in the |
|
|
|
RomWBW distribution. Please retrieve them yourself from the website |
|
|
|
if desired. |

|
|
|
|
|
The following files have been included from CP/M 2.2. These files |
|
|
|

|
|
|
ZSDOS applications themselves. For example, the CP/M 2.2 application |
|
|
|
called STAT is useful for modifying the IOBYTE. Most of these |
|
|
|

== Testing Applications (User Area 2) == |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
User area 2 contains a variety of hardware testing applications. |
|
|
|
These are generally user contributed and have no documentation. |
|
|
|
Additionally, they are frequently not compatible with all RomWBW |
|
|
|
hardware. They are included here as a convenience. If applicable, |
|
|
|
your hardware documentation should refer to them and provide usage |
|
|
|
instructions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Sample Tune Files (User Area 3) == |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
User area 3 contains sample audio files that can be played using |
|
|
|
the TUNE application. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== CP/NET 1.2 (User Area 4) == |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
User area 4 contains a full implementation of the CP/NET 1.2 |
|
|
|
client provided by Doug Miller. Please read the README.TXT file |
|
|
|
in this user area for more information. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
N.B., at a minimum, some of the files in this user area must be copied |
|
|
|
to user area 0 for CP/NET to work properly. |
