- NAME
- GETSYS.HEX Utility to extract CP/M
-
- SYNOPSIS
- i8080 -b getsys.hex -A . -B cpm20.com
-
- DESCRIPTION
- GETSYS extracts CP/M operating system from a standard CP/M master
- floppy disk.
-
- The parameter of -A option must be . because the source disk drive
- always is physical. The parameter of the -B option can be any file name.
- However, the use of a file name, "cpm20.com" is recommended.
-
- You need to create "cpm20.com" before executing GETSYS.
- For example, on MS-DOS, you can use the command
- type null > cpm20.com
- to create a new empty file, "cpm20.com"
-
- Since GETSYS assumes that BIOS of I8080 handles the standard CP/M
- 6 sectors skew scheme, the program translates the sector number when
- reading a physical disk in order to compensate for the skew.
-
-
- WARNINGS
- The filename specified with -B option must exist before the execution
- of the program.
- If the size of the file is over 8 Kbytes, the extra information will
- still be kept.
- GETSYS will not do any error checking during the execution.
