[comp.os.cpm] One more beginner question...

paravia@csd4.milw.wisc.edu (Mark David Kakatsch) (02/23/89)

All right...Thanks to some really great people, I got my last question 
answered. That, however, just led to another one. 

If I have a C/PM system disk, how can I modify it so that it would work w/
my serial card and terminal? How could I tell the system disk that my card
is addressed as port 4, and that control is at 84, and how can I tell it which
bits in the control byte stand for Receive Buffer Full, or Transmit Buffer
Full, etc...

My main concern here, is, is that even if I get the drives working, I'm 
relatively sure that I've transhed my System disk. I have another one, but I'm
not sure if it'll work. I've heard from a couple of people who have Tarbell
equiptment they would sell me, but before I buy anything, I'd like to know if
I can USE any of it w/ my present setup...

Thanks much!

Mark
