- Dear Customer,
-
- This disk contains useful public-domain (can be copied) CP/M
- compatible software.
-
- CBIOS24.ASM - Standard input/output system for Tarbell CP/M
- and Tarbell Floppy Disk Interface (FDI). Notice that there
- is now a VDM-1 driver in it, which may be activated by
- setting the proper EQU's.
-
- SBOOT24.ASM - Source for the standard Tarbell FDI coldstart
- loader program, set up for 24k.
-
- COPY.COM, COPY.ASM - Command and source files for a copy
- program from the CP/M user's group, which has been
- modified to work with the Tarbell FDI. To use it, type
- "COPY ALL", "COPY SYSTEM", or "COPY DATA".
- After typing in the command, it will come back and wait
- for a carriage-return so you can put your master and
- fresh disks in. The first form copies the whole disk,
- track by track, from A to B. The second form copies
- just the first two tracks, and the third copies all
- but the first two tracks. After it comes back with the
- ending message, a carriage-return will do a warm boot,
- and an ampersand (&) followed by a carriage-return will
- repeat the operation.
-
- TAPELIB.COM, TAPELIB.DOC are the command file and
- documentation packages for an extensive Tarbell Cassette
- Interface-CP/M tape library system, written by
- Sam Singer. It provides capabilities similar to the
- new PIP, only for cassette tape. For example, you
- can dump all the files, or all the .ASM files to cassette.
-
- DSKCAS.ASM, CASDSK.ASM - These are the sources for simple
- Tarbell Cassette-CP/M transfers. They are somewhat
- inefficient compared to those of TAPELIB, since they
- use only 128-byte buffers. They are used by typing:
- DSKCAS filename , or CASDSK filename. Of course they
- have to be assembled first.
-
- FORMAT.ASM - This program, written by Dick Culbertson,
- allows you to completely format a blank or crashed disk.
- It wipes out whatever is on the disk, so be sure you
- have all the information off the disk that you need. Also
- be sure to remove the disk you have in drive A and
- only have the one you want reformatted in there, when it
- comes up with it's opening message. This program also
- needs assembling before use.
-
- FBIOS24.ASM - This is the assembly-language source for the
- dual PerSci version of the Basic Input/Output System. It
- is usually the same as the standard version, except for the
- DUAL and FAST EQU statements. Notice that it also contains
- a VDM driver. Follow the procedure in the CP/M
- operating system notes entitled "Making Changes in the CP/M
- System" in order to integrate this module into your system.
-
- FBOOT24.ASM - This is the assembly-language source for the
- dual PerSci version of the coldstart loader program.
-
- BASIC.COM, RUN.COM - These are the command modules for
- the BASIC-E compiler and run-time interpreter, written by
- Gordon Eubanks, Jr.
