[comp.os.cpm] CPM 2.2

paravia@csd4.milw.wisc.edu (Mark David Kakatsch) (04/23/89)

Hello. I recently got my S-100 system running with CPM 1.4. However, I'd like
to get it working with CPM 2.2. I have the BIOS and BOOT for it, but I don't
know how to install it. There is no program analogous to MOVCPM, which was used
to install CPM 1.4. I was told that there was another method to installing it,
but that person didn't remeber what it was. The reason I'd like to do this is
that you need it to run most software on SIMTEL20...By the way, I have an 
Ithaca Audio Z80 CPU with a Tarbell SSSD controller running on 2 Shugart 801's.


Any and all help is appreciated...

Mark

[Egads, I didn't think 1.4 even existed anymore... :-)]

What exactly do you have for 2.2?   Just a 2.2 BIOS and BOOT? You'll still
need a copy of the CCP & BDOS (which can be produced by MOVCPM).  This is
spelled out in the 2.2 installation manual.

You might consider using P2DOS (or one of the other BDOS replacements) and
ZCPR3 instead - both, I think, available from SIMTEL20. With those at least
you'll have the source code!
