Phil,
I was thinking more of the bios calls. The drivers for hardware.
Also, will the source code be released?

    Hi Roger

    

    I did those as part of the installation. Starting off with the
    assembly listing of CP/M 2.2, I was able to build it up one step at
    a time. That's different than the traditional Regeneration process
    of pulling the binary down from a floppy disk.

      Have you got all the cbios calls working or do you want help

      Well, it's arrived as far as Virtual T. It will need a new
      hardware 

      device developed to use on a real M100.

      

      Over a decade in the making (started in 2006), I present 64K CP/M
      2.2 

      running in VT with Remem enabled. The Remem is used as RAMdisk, to
      

      emulate two disk drives of about 241KB each.

      

      To share this with the group, it would be easiest to share my VT 

      remem.bin (6MB). Together with my instructions in pdf, you'll be
      on the 

      air very quickly.

      John Hogerhuis: May I send this to you to host on the bitchin.com
      site?

      Ken Pettit: Will my windows variant of remem.bin work with all the
      other 

      variants of VT 1.7?

      

      While in theory it will work on a real M100 with Remem, and with 

      additional software could use a NADSBox to talk to the modern
      world (SD 

      card) - I think as these two items aren't readily available, it
      would 

      best if a new hardware solution is developed. Now that it's
      working in 

      the M100 environment, it's relatively straightforward to modify
      the BIOS 

      to work with any RAMdisk, other storage device or even a wireless
      solution.

      

      Thanks to Mike Stein for some beta testing.
