I am looking for a program that will convert Intel 8085 assembler code to Intel 8808 assembler code. Does such as animal exist or should we just start writing our own? Any pointers or hints would be much appreciated. Thanks. Susan Micciche ...seismo!rochester!cci632!susan

I am looking for software that runs in an IBM PC and will read CP/M 5 1/4" disks that were created on an Epson CP/M system. I have some old information on a product called Xeno-Copy from Vertex Systems in Los Angles,CA that claims to read all sorts of CP/M formats into an IBM PC machine. However - Vertex apprears to have disappeared! I really need to do this conversion and am willing to buy a commercial package or get shareware/etc. Any help on this problem? ____ _______ _____ _______ ------- Dave Lindsay / __ \ |__ __| / _ \ |__ __| -====------ mtuxo!dave | (__) | | | \ \ \_\ | | -======------ (201) 576-6865 | __ | | | / \ __ | | --====------- AT&T LZ 3K-222 | | | | | | | (\ / / | | ----------- 307 Middletown-Lincroft Rd |_| |_| |_| \_____/ |_| ------- Lincroft, NJ 07738

He now markets it directly from his own company, Xenosoft. The current version is considerably improved and supports around 300 formats. Xenosoft is in Berkeley, CA, phone 415-525-3113 Mike Gingell ...decvax!mcnc!ecsvax!mjg

Thanks. > > Susan Micciche > ...seismo!rochester!cci632!susan Assuming that the 8808 you mention is in fact the 8088 in the P.C. etc. then there do exist programs for changing 8080 code into 8088 code (That's how Micropro got a version of Wordstar out so damn fast: it's just the 8080 version in drag). The only risk using it on 8085 code is those two odd instructions 'rim' & 'sim' (hex 30 & 20, I can't remember which is which). Other than that the 8085 is code compatible with the 8080. I'd start by getting hold of the people at Microsoft. Alternatively if you can get hold of an 8088 assembler with macroing capabilities comparable with RMAC by Digital Research you should be able to do it with macros. (Believe it or not, I've seen a full 8080 assembler written using macros on a 68K box) As for writing your own, it takes about six weeks to get an assembler going from a cold start, all you have to do is to directly translate the 8080 mneumonics into the appropriate 8088 byte values. -- dg@wrs.UUCP - David Goodenough +---+ | +-+-+ +-+-+ | +---+

They have a program called TRANS86.COM which translates their 808[05] assembler source to their 8086 assembler code. The assemblers are quite good, 2 pass with many "compiler directives", conditional compiles, macros, etc. I really liked it. I don't think they sell it anymore, though. Call CompuPro (Viasyn) in Hayward California (415) 786-0909, they might still have copies avaliable. -- John Plocher uwvax!geowhiz!uwspan!plocher plocher%uwspan.UUCP@uwvax.CS.WISC.EDU

I'm not 100% sure if Media Master exists on MS-DOS, but I know you can get Uniform. To find them look in P.C. magazines, and there should be something there. -- dg@wrs.UUCP - David Goodenough +---+ | +-+-+ +-+-+ | +---+
