Quickstart to run CP/M and MP/M on the Z80-CPU simulation 1. Change to directory ~/z80pack/cpmsim/srcsim make make clean This compiles the CPU and hardware emulation needed to run CP/M and MP/M. 2. Change to directory ~/z80pack/cpmsim/srccpm2 make make clean This compiles support programs (see below), installs named pipes and so on. 3. Make backup copies of your distribution disks! cd ~/z80pack/cpmsim/disks/library cp *.dsk ../backups 4. Change to directory ~/z80pack/cpmsim cpm2 - run CP/M 2.2 cpm3 - run CP/M 3.0 mpm - this boots CP/M 2, run command mpm to boot MP/M 2 Usage of the support programs: format: to create an empty disk image for the CP/M simulation. input: format output: in directory disks files drivea.cpm, driveb.cpm, drivec.cpm, drived.cpm, drivei.cpm and drivej.cpm bin2hex:converts binary files to Intel hex. receive:This is a process spawned by cpmsim. It reads from the named pipe auxout and writes all input from the pipe to the file, which is given as first argument. cpmsim spawns this process with the output filename auxiliary.cpm. Inside the simulator this pipe is connected to I/O-port 5, which is assigned to the CP/M device PUN:. So everything you write from CP/M to device PUN: goes into the file auxiliary.cpm on the UNIX host. send: This process is to send a file from the UNIX host to the simulator. Type send &, and then run cpmsim. The process writes all data from file into the named pipe auxin, which is also connected to I/O-port 5, which is assigned to the CP/M device RDR:. You may use this to transfer a file from the UNIX host to the simulator. Under CP/M type pip file=RDR: to read the data send from the process on the UNIX host. If you use PIP to transfer files between the UNIX host and the simulator, you can only use ASCII files, because pip uses cntl-z for EOF! To transfer a binary file from the UNIX host to the simulator convert it to Intel hex format with bin2hex. This can be converted back to a binary file under CP/M with the LOAD command.
