I have, as you may have guessed from the title, a Premium SoftCard //e.
For those of you who don't know, it is a CP/M 80 board that fits into
the aumiliary slot.
Just for fun, I recently dredged up an adapted version of Modem7 for my
//e and tried to use it. The main claim to fame that it offers is a
useful batch receive/transfer function.
The problem is that I have no way of converting CP/M text into usable
ProDOS text.
On a whim, I telephoned MicroSoft in Washington and they have a
"Application Note for Special configurations ..." for the SoftCard.
Unfortunately, they are not allowed to send stuff to Canada from the
states. I telephoned Microsoft in Mississauga (it's near Toronto or
part of Toronto almost) and they are trying to get the stuff for me
from the states. The people I talked to clearly didn't understand
what I was talking about so I am not holding my breath.
FINALLY THE QUESTIONS!!!!
1. Doesn anybody out there have a program for converting CP/M text
to ProDOS 8 text?
2. If anyone out there has a Premium SoftCard, what revision do you
have? I have 2.26.
3. The Premium SoftCard is not capable of accessing a larger than
5 MB hard disk, because of some change in the disk controller.
Does anyone have or know of, :
1) Software for partitioning a hard drive for CP/M
2) Software that might allow my SoftCard to access a 10 MB
hard drive?
Thanks verymuch in advance. Please email responses.
