===== CP/M-80 2.2 Disk for RomWBW =====
|
|
|
|
This disk is one of several ready-to-run disks provided with RomWBW.
|
|
It contains a vanilla distribution of DRI's CP/M-80 2.2 adapted for
|
|
RomWBW. The disk is bootable as is (the operating system image is
|
|
already embedded in the system tracks) and can be launched from the
|
|
RomWBW Loader prompt.
|
|
|
|
The remainder of this document describes the usage and contents of
|
|
this disk. It is highly recommended that you review the "RomWBW
|
|
Getting Started.pdf" document found in the Doc directory of the
|
|
RomWBW Distribution.
|
|
|
|
== Usage ==
|
|
|
|
- All installation steps needed to run CP/M 2.2 have already been
|
|
performed. It is not necessary to perform the steps in the
|
|
Alteration section of the CPM Manual.
|
|
- The MOVCPM application referred to in the manual is not needed
|
|
with RomWBW and is not included.
|
|
- The manual refers to the use of SYSGEN to install a copy of CP/M 2.2
|
|
on the boot tracks of a disk to make it bootable. Under RomWBW, it
|
|
is recommended that you use SYSCOPY instead. SYSGEN is included,
|
|
but SYSCOPY is more flexible. The use of SYSCOPY is documented in
|
|
the RomWBW Applications document.
|
|
|
|
== Notes ==
|
|
|
|
- SUBMIT.COM has been patched per the official DRI patch list such
|
|
that the submit file will always be placed on the A: drive which
|
|
ensures it will be run properly even if your default drive is not
|
|
currently A:.
|
|
- DDT, DDTZ, and ZSID have been patched to use RST 6 instead of the
|
|
original RST 7 vector for single step debugging. This is mandatory
|
|
for a Z80 CPU which uses RST 7 for hardware interrupts.
|
|
- CP/M 2.2 was not distributed with a help system. Douglas Miller
|
|
has adapted the CP/M 3 help system for CP/M 2.2 and is included.
|
|
The HELP.HLP data file must be found on the current default drive
|
|
and user area when HELP.COM is run.
|
|
|
|
== CP/M 2.2 Files ==
|
|
|
|
The following CP/M 2.2 files were distributed by DRI with the operating
|
|
system or as supplemental add-on programs. They are documented in the
|
|
"CP/M Manual.pdf" document in the Doc directory of the Rom WBW
|
|
distribution. MAC, RMAC, ZSID are supplemental programs from DRI
|
|
with separate standalone documentation which is not included in the
|
|
RomWBW package (but easily found on the Internet via Google search).

These are generally user contributed and have no documentation.
|
|
|
|
N.B., these applications are frequently not compatible with all RomWBW
|
|

|
|
your hardware documentation should refer to them and provide usage
|
|
instructions.
|
|
