Simple DDT "HI" program - can be expanded to "hello world" if
ambitious enough.
Start DDT
A100 # Start assembly at location $100
mvi c,2 # Put 2 in the C-register for Console Out
mv e,48 # $48 is ASCII H
call 5 # entry point for all system calls (BDOS)
mvi c,2 # Put 2 in C-register for Console Out
mvi e,49 #$49 ASCII I
call 5 # BDOS call again
rst 7 # return to DDT
g100 to execute, should print something like "HI" with memory location
after.
Tons of fun!

Brian,
Definitely. DDT is great. I'll be working through that next. I
finally got a program working and assembled - from the 2.2 manual
- read chars until *. Now, I just gotta get hello, world
working.... I was sure, it would work... oh, wait, when it says to
CALL CPM, I bet it's not talking about where CP/M is DE1EH... I
bet it's that 0005H entry point... off to explore.

If you just want to play, don't discount ddt in CP/M. Cheap and
dirty way to play with everything.

regarding file transfer, use

These programs access a "TPDD". Filenames are 8.3 format,

I broke down and started reading the manuals (REXCPM,
CP/M 2.2, etc). It's starting to come together
(again?)... I've inlined the answers I figured out for
posterity or the next clueless newb who comes along.

2. CP/M works from RexCPM, which is great, cuz CP/M
recognizes more memory:
64K CP/M 2.2 M100 CP/M + REXCPM 2MB 1.0
Yes, it does recognize more memory and it serves up an A:
drive that's a big chunk of that 2MBs. Solid. Talked
about here:
http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=M100_CP/M
My questions are as follows:
4. In CP/M, how do I get back to MENU?
Duh, F8 :).
5. When I start CP/M, is it just running CP/M against
the M100's memory or am I in some special whizbang
virtual environment where I have additional disks
available somehow?
It's a whizbang environment for sure - 64K ram and a
nearly 2MB A: drive.
As for my broken ASM, another duh, thanks John for the
tip - I need to write a CP/M friendly program that call
it's routines and not the ROM calls.
CP/M seems the way to go, though. It kinda reminds me of
RT11, but with ASM instead of MACRO11. ed... well, after
you figure out that you need to retrieve the file
contents into the buffer, it kinda makes sense - nice
video - I love ED:

Still need to figure out how to get files into and out of
cp/m though...
Off to read some more.
