Vamos
a preparar una cara de un disco de 3'' en un Amstrad CPC6128 para que
al teclear |CPM arranque el sistema operativo y el comando que deseemos.
Lets make a CP/M plus boot disk in a side of a an Amstrad CPC6128 3'' disk, the goal is type |CPM an starts the operating system and the commands that we want.
Format as SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: You must use numerical keyboard in
DISCKIT3 assistant, other numeric keys won't work.
- Insert CP/M plus disk #1 (better a copy) and type:
|CPM - Run the software:
DISCKIT3 - Select these options:
Format > System Format - Keep system disk in A: drive until system tracks are copied, then press a key.
- Select unit drive where is the disk to format (if we have more than one).
- Confirm than this is the right drive and desired format, then press a key.
- DISCKIT ask us if we want to format another disk, in this case we say NO.
- Eject all the floppies and exit from DISCKIT3.
- Return to CP/M prompt
Copy system to our new floppy disk
- Insert again the new floppy but now in A: drive.
- Insert system disk in B: drive or switch when system ask you if you have only one.
- Copy these files to the new floppy:
PIP B:=A:C10CPM3.EMS
PIP B:=A:KEYS.*
PIP B:=A:SUBMIT.COM
PIP B:=A:SETKEYS.*
PIP B:=A:SET24X80.COM
PIP B:=A:AMSDOS.COM
PIP B:=A:PIP.COM
- Eject both floppies, restart CPC and we insert only the new one in A drive. Check if all runs ok with the command:
|CPM
Copy Mallard Basic and some example BAS files
In my case I got the executable file of Mallard Basic del PCW with some BAS files, so I need to copy them (now I insert old floppy in B:)PIP B:=A:BASIC.COM
PIP B:=A:*.BAS
Hacer que arranque Basic Mallard al iniciar CP/M
- Exit from CP/M typing AMSDOS
- Type this lines from Locomotive Basic IN AMSDOS:
10 OPENOUT "PROFILE.SUB"
20 PRINT #9, "BASIC"
30 CLOSEOUT - Save for future uses and changes:
SAVE "GENPROF.BAS"
(remember, this is a Locomotive Basic AMSDOS software, don't try to open with Mallard Basic in CP/M). - Type RUN.
- Type |CPM again to check that new floppy works ok.
REMEMBER: Type SYSTEM to exit from Mallard Basic.
The big problem is you can't activate floppy write protection or autorun doesn't work. :(
