Jörg Linder has disassembled and thoroughly commented a great deal of the BPBIOS binaries. This was an incredible amount of work. I have added all of these to the RomWBW build scripts and will ultimately integrate them more completely.
- Minimal support for QP/M by adding a disk image.
- Disk image is not included in combo image, it must be added separately.
- Disk image boots into CP/M 2.2. You must run QINSTALL to configure it and make the disk boot into QP/M.
- It is critical to review the ReadMe.txt file -- default QP/M configuration conflicts with RomWBW use of Page Zero.
- Added some stack space to SYSGEN. It was failing when run with extra CBIOS debugging enabled.
- Cleanup of diskdefs file.
- Updated SIMH executable.
QP/M is a CP/M 2.2 replacement for BDOS/CCP. However, it adds it's own concept of date/time stamping. Support for the QP/M date/time routine has been added. You can configure QP/M to find the vector at address 0x0010.
A sidenote on QP/M. By default, it uses 2 bytes at address 0x0008 to store the current drive/user. This will conflict with RomWBW's use of RST 08 for API function calls. I recommend using address 0x000E when configuring QP/M for the location of the current drive/user.
Disk images created as part of the build process can now be made bootable without requiring the user to run SYSCOPY. Some of the disk images are now bootable.
