- Wellcome to the PORTABLE 8080 system.
-
- This package is designed to run a CP/M-80 system under non-8080
- micros. Main part of the package is an interpreter of 8080
- machine codes, which is written in C language with portable
- codings. I tested my program on some different machines
- including an MS-DOS personal computer and a unix workstation.
- I believe that you can port the program to many machines without
- much troubles. Current version is configured for Borland's Turbo
- C 1.5.
-
- CP/M itself is not included in the package, because it is not
- public domained, and its copyrights are held by Digital
- Research. You have to construct your CP/M system by yourself.
- I wrote some tools to support porting CP/M, which are included
- in the package. I also put ready-to-use CP/M BIOS in it. Your
- job will not be so hard.
-
- Some stand-alone programs are also included, which run on
- the portable 8080 system without CP/M. They include a famous
- Palo Alto Tiny BASIC. It demonstrates the power of our 8080
- interpreter to execute tricky self-rewriting codes.
-
- This package contains the following programs. Their sources
- are also included. Note that all files with extention '.ASM' in
- the package are CP/M ASM sources for 8080 and '.COM' are CP/M
- commands.
-
- i8080.exe a portable 8080
- cpmfile.exe access virtual CP/M disks
- newdsk.exe initialize virtual CP/M disks
- mkhex.exe create CP/M boot image file (CPMxx.HEX)
-
- bios20.hex assembled 20KB BIOS
-
- getsys.hex a stand-alone utility to extract CP/M system
- copyall.hex a stand-alone utility to copy virtual CP/M disks
- basic.hex a stand-alone BASIC (famous Palo Alto version)
-
- halt.com a vertual CP/M command to exit to host OS
