I was wondering if anyone out there can help me. I am using CP/M on my enhanced Apple //e. I now have the need for using files greater than the size of an Apple 5.25" disk. It must be one continuous file so I can't break it into multiple disks. I am now considering purchasing either a RAMcard (probably AE Ramfactor so it would be compatible with a //gs if/when I upgrade/purchase one.) or a 3.5" 800K drive (probably from Central Point). I would like to know if anyone has used either of these with Apple CP/M. I am using Microsoft CP/M ver 2.23. It's dated 1982, so I doubt it will recognize Apples new disk drive protocols. I need to know what, if anything, I would need to do to get CP/M do recognize these. Do I need to get a newer version of CP/M or will either of these come with the software. My setup is as follows: Slot Peripheral 1 Grappler parallel printer card 2 Apple SSC 6 Apple disk drive controller 7 ALS Z-card This only leaves either slot 4 or 5 for the new device. Any help would be appreciated. Bill Wood Bitnet: CADS072@CALSTATE
