Ok, Read speed test is done!

Interesting note, the write speed test uses BDOS calls, while the read test uses BIOS calls. The latter is a little bit faster, and achieves 14kB/s on a bit-banged SD-card.

Short call, but i just got home.
Will be live at 18:15, in roughly 20 minutes.
Lets code on CP/M Plus & Z80!

My Drive Tool for CP/M Plus is almost done.

What it already does:
-Save Boottracks to File
-Write File to Boottracks
-Wipe Directory
-Write Speed test

What may work:
-Wipe Drive. This may get the number of tracks wrong and might damage a real floppy drive

What isn't implemented:
-Read speed test

Go ahead, give it a try and fix you broken directories:

(only for CP/M 3 on Z80)

Is there any interest in an open forum for #CPM at all?
Pls boost for better results.

I really wish there was a place for general discussions on #cpm development. There are so many platforms now, and everyone is doing their own extensions.
We need to come together and discuss new standards, to keep cross platform compatibility and embrace all the fancy new things.
I would have multiple proposals. But where?

Pro Tip:
If you start getting into CP/M, no matter wich version, get used to using .LBR files.
They are not just archives. With the LRUN, LDIR and LTYPE utilities, you can use files inside .LBR libraries without unpacking them. So .LBR files are on CP/M what directories are on DOS.

PS:
If you just want to try the tool:
https://github.com/Stefanie80/CPM3_2063_Retro/blob/main/Tools/drvtool.z80

Build with ZMAC / LINK.
Option 1 should always be safe.
Option 6 is dangerous, especially if your drive is too fast.
It writes sequentially to a file, for exactly 10 seconds (Or forever, if there is no RTC).
If your drive runs full before that time, it just crashes.

The other options are safe but useless.

Any Comments or Suggestions very welcome :)

Yes, we did have a lot of fun. patching in hardware, enhancing machine code, using things like the CONIX overlay to CP/M which gave limited (very limited) unix functionality. Setting up the first dial up public access internet site in Tassy. calvados.apana.org.au on an XT.

You will *never* have that much fun with IT/IS now.

Burying their ideological differences, winners from BJP, CPM and Congress joined hands to form boards in at least three gram panchayats in West Bengal in order to keep Trinamool Congress at bay. BJP and CPM formed the gram panchayat board jointly at Mahishadal in East Midnapore district on Wednesday. BJP and TMC had bagged eight seats each out of 18, while CPM had won two. BJP's Subhra Panda and CPM's Paresh Panigrahi were elected pradhan and upa-pradhan, respectively.

Is there a CPAN module installer or dependencies manager with which I can directly install a perl git project via a #cpanfile? (The project itself also has a cpanfile) 🤔 cpanm can't handle git urls yet (in an cpanfile! On the shell I can install a git or github project by cpanm), #Cargo apparently can't either. App::cpm #cpm needs a META.json in the source project and the #Carl project looks a bit old.

"A Programmer's Notebook: Utilities for CP/M-80" by David Cortesi (Reston, 1982) is excellent. The book presents a number of utilities in Intel 8080 Assembly, discussing the development of each program from the initial design and pseudocode to the full code.

DOS Games June 2023 Jam
https://itch.io/jam/dos-games-june-2023-jam/entries

I have not played a single game since 15 days, I think.. huge time. I will give a try to:

- In The Dark: A rogue-like survival game for CP/M, DOS and modern systems.
- Overrun: A cyberpunk RPG based on Shadowrun.

And probably 1 or 2 more.
Check it out

I lost my sources to TED and other things a long time ago, except for copies on floppy disks such as this one. TED here is on an 8" disk. If something exists but you can't get at it, is it real?

TED was an editor for CP/M, roughly equivalent to TEC124 (TECO), in many ways a superset of it. It was my second TECO, the first was for an OS on a HP21MX computer. The native editor on that system was pretty bad, it almost required replacing.

But I digress. (from what?).

Looks like this is only available via PUT/GET in CP/M PLUS aka 3.0

How do I redirect command output to a file using CP/M 2.2?
