Ok i extracted it. What's next?Send contrex the .rar and 50 bucks with a blank CD...Quote from: patio on September 11, 2007, 02:36:39 PM Send contrex the .rar and 50 bucks with a blank CD... No i don't THINK so. Be serious now, how do i make CP/M on a bootable CD?Boot to MS-DOS, install the floppy image HANDLING program COPYQM.EXE, (read COPYQM.DOC) and use it to write the CP/M floppy image file (the .144) file onto a floppy disk. Then boot from that. CP/M is a floppy based OS. It needs to be run from a write enabled floppy. It cannot run from a CD-ROM. If you do not have a floppy drive you cannot run it.

Let me say something about that. MS-DOS is suppose to be run on floppy only. I actually got it to run from CD and installed so i assume CP/M should be the same way or similar. It is the matter of loading in a CP/M boot file which i don't know which one is the boot and i don't know what files to drag over.Quote from: php111 on September 12, 2007, 05:09:51 AM MS-DOS is suppose to be run on floppy only. No it is not! Is this the LEVEL of your knowledge? LOOK here http://www.seasip.demon.co.uk/Cpm/dosplus.html |
