There are difficulties in using SYSGEN with a non-DRI CCP on the Model 4.
It seems that SYSGEN looks for a checksum and will not accept Z80CCP or
ZCPRx. The solution is to write a program that will overlay the original
system with the new CCP or to extend Z80CCP with an in-memory-loader
which will move Z80CCP to it's location.
Problems with the new 48K-BIOS might result from the fact, that the newly
generated BIOS contains the same drive parameters as the original version,
2 physical drives SSSD 40 Trk. If you have installed other drives, the
original BIOS wouldn't recognize them. You must then insert a MM SYS DISK
containing CONFIG.COM into A: and configure the new System to a freshly
formatted disk, I missed the details.
For information about about a better (banked) BIOS and ZCPR33, support for
80-Micro 320 K RAM etc., mail me your hardware configs.
