# Overview
|
||||
|
||||
RomWBW software provides a complete, commercial quality implementation
|
||||
of CP/M (and workalike) operating systems and applications for modern
|
||||
Z80/180/280 retro-computing hardware systems. A wide variety of
|
||||
platforms are supported including those produced by these developer
|
||||
communities:
|
||||
|
||||
- [RetroBrew Computers](https://www.retrobrewcomputers.org)
|
||||
(<https://www.retrobrewcomputers.org>)
|
||||
- [RC2014](https://rc2014.co.uk) (<https://rc2014.co.uk>),
|
||||
[RC2014-Z80](https://groups.google.com/g/rc2014-z80)
|
||||
(<https://groups.google.com/g/rc2014-z80>)
|
||||
- [Retro Computing](https://groups.google.com/g/retro-comp)
|
||||
(<https://groups.google.com/g/retro-comp>)
|
||||
- [Small Computer Central](https://smallcomputercentral.com/)
|
||||
(<https://smallcomputercentral.com/>)
|
||||
|
||||
A complete list of the currently supported platforms is found in the
|
||||
\[Installation\] section.
|
||||
|
||||
General features include:
|
||||
|
||||
- Z80 Family CPUs including Z80, Z180, and Z280
|
||||
- Banked memory services for several banking designs
|
||||
- Disk drivers for RAM, ROM, Floppy, IDE ATA/ATAPI, CF, SD, USB, Zip,
|
||||
Iomega
|
||||
- Serial drivers including UART (16550-like), ASCI, ACIA, SIO
|
||||
- Video drivers including TMS9918, SY6545, MOS8563, HD6445
|
||||
- Keyboard (PS/2) drivers via VT8242 or PPI interfaces
|
||||
- Real time clock drivers including DS1302, BQ4845
|
||||
- OSes: CP/M 2.2, ZSDOS, CP/M 3, NZ-COM, ZPM3, QPM, p-System, and
|
||||
FreeRTOS
|
||||
- Built-in VT-100 terminal emulation support
|
||||
|
||||
RomWBW is distributed as both source code and pre-built ROM and disk
|
||||
images. Some of the provided software can be launched directly from the
|
||||
ROM firmware itself:
|
||||
|
||||
- System Monitor
|
||||
- Operating Systems (CP/M 2.2, ZSDOS)
|
||||
- ROM BASIC (Nascom BASIC and Tasty BASIC)
|
||||
- ROM Forth
|
||||
|
||||
A dynamic disk drive letter assignment mechanism allows mapping
|
||||
operating system drive letters to any available disk media.
|
||||
Additionally, mass storage devices (IDE Disk, CF Card, SD Card, etc.)
|
||||
support the use of multiple slices (up to 256 per device). Each slice
|
||||
contains a complete CP/M filesystem and can be mapped independently to
|
||||
any drive letter. This overcomes the inherent size limitations in legacy
|
||||
OSes and allows up to 2GB of accessible storage on a single device.
|
||||
|
||||
The pre-built ROM firmware images are generally suitable for most users.
|
||||
However, it is also very easy to modify and build custom ROM images that
|
||||
fully tailor the firmware to your specific preferences. All tools
|
||||
required to build custom ROM firmware under Windows are included – no
|
||||
need to install assemblers, etc. The firmware can also be built using
|
||||
Linux or MacOS after confirming a few standard tools have been
|
||||
installed.
|
||||
|
||||
Multiple disk images are provided in the distribution. Most disk images
|
||||
contain a complete, bootable, ready-to-run implementation of a specific
|
||||
operating system. A “combo” disk image contains multiple slices, each
|
||||
with a full operating system implementation. If you use this disk image,
|
||||
you can easily pick whichever operating system you want to boot without
|
||||
changing media.
|
||||
|
||||
By design, RomWBW isolates all of the hardware specific functions in the
|
||||
ROM chip itself. The ROM provides a hardware abstraction layer such that
|
||||
all of the operating systems and applications on a disk will run on any
|
||||
RomWBW-based system. To put it simply, you can take a disk (or CF/SD/USB
|
||||
Card) and move it between systems transparently.
|
||||
|
||||
A tool is provided that allows you to access a FAT-12/16/32 filesystem.
|
||||
The FAT filesystem may be coresident on the same disk media as RomWBW
|
||||
slices or on stand-alone media. This makes exchanging files with modern
|
||||
OSes such as Windows, MacOS, and Linux very easy.

# Acquiring RomWBW
|
||||
|
||||
The [RomWBW Repository](https://github.com/wwarthen/RomWBW)
|
||||
(<https://github.com/wwarthen/RomWBW>) on GitHub is the official
|
||||
distribution location for all project source and documentation. The
|
||||
fully-built distribution releases are available on the [RomWBW Releases
|
||||
Page](https://github.com/wwarthen/RomWBW/releases)
|
||||
(<https://github.com/wwarthen/RomWBW/releases>) of the repository. On
|
||||
this page, you will normally see a Development Snapshot as well as
|
||||
recent stable releases. Unless you have a specific reason, I suggest you
|
||||
stick to the most recent stable release. Expand the “Assets” drop-down
|
||||
for the release you want to download, then select the asset named
|
||||
RomWBW-vX.X.X-Package.zip. The Package asset includes all pre-built ROM
|
||||
and Disk images as well as full source code. The other assets contain
|
||||
only source code and do not have the pre-built ROM or disk images.
|
||||
|
||||
All source code and distributions are maintained on GitHub. Code
|
||||
contributions are very welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
# Installation & Operation
|
||||
|
||||
In general, installation of RomWBW on your platform is very simple. You
|
||||
just need to program your ROM with the correct ROM image from the RomWBW
|
||||
distribution. Subsequently, you can write disk images on your disk
|
||||
drives (IDE disk, CF Card, SD Card, etc.) which then provides even more
|
||||
functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
Complete instructions for installation and operation of RomWBW are found
|
||||
in the [RomWBW User
|
||||
Guide](https://github.com/wwarthen/RomWBW/raw/master/Doc/RomWBW%20User%20Guide.pdf).

I want to acknowledge that a great deal of the code and inspiration for
|
||||
RomWBW has been provided by or derived from the work of others in the
|
||||
RetroBrew Computers Community. I sincerely appreciate all of their
|
||||
contributions. The list below is probably missing many names – please

let me know if I missed you!
|
||||
|
||||

||||
- Douglas Goodall contributed code, time, testing, and advice in “the
|
||||
early days”. He created an entire suite of application programs to
|
||||
enhance the use of RomWBW. Unfortunately, they have become unusable
|
||||
due to internal changes within RomWBW. As of RomWBW 2.6, these
|
||||

- Stephen Cousins has likewise created a series of hobbyist kit
|
||||
computers at Small Computer Central and is distributing RomWBW with

||||
- Martin R has provided substantial help reviewing and improving the
|
||||
User Guide and Applications documents.
|
||||
|
||||
- Mark Pruden has also contributed a great deal of content to the Disk
|
||||
Catalog, User Guide as well as the COPYSL utility.

RomWBW-vX.X.X-Package.zip. The Package asset includes all pre-built ROM
|

and Disk images as well as full source code. The other assets contain
|

only source code and do not have the pre-built ROM or disk images.

# Installation & Operation
|
||||
|
||||
In general, installation of RomWBW on your platform is very simple. You
|
||||
just need to program your ROM with the correct ROM image from the RomWBW
|
||||
distribution. Subsequently, you can write disk images on your disk
|
||||
drives (IDE disk, CF Card, SD Card, etc.) which then provides even more
|
||||
functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
Complete instructions for installation and operation of RomWBW are found
