I need some information about what CP/M (2.2) expects from the BIOS. Specifically: What are the various entries in the disk parameter header blocks? (and what does CP/M do with them) What kind of error codes does CP/M want for things such as 'write-protect', or 'record-not-found', etc.? Please respond via email to me, since I don't get too many chances to read this group. ken bass kbb@faron.ARPA

Thanks to all who responeded to my query about CPM's DPH blocks and BDOS handling of BIOS errors. The overwhelming majority of those who replied recommeded Andy Johnson-Laird's book "CPM Programmer's Handbook", so I thought I'd pass that bit of information to any of you out there who might be interested. ken bass kbb@faron!mbunix.ARPA linus!faron!kbb (I was hoping that some nice soul would send me directly the info. Oh well, I guess I'll have to loiter around in the local bookstore...)
