The 3 diskette images are from CP/M-86 for the IBM PC [Not PC/XT as is more commonly found]. They're 5 1/4" SSDD 8 sector diskettes. disk CP/M-86 V1.1 s/n 1024-0000-03178 disk GSX 1 of 2 V1.1 s/n same disk GSX 2 of 2 V1.1 s/n same ------- What is unique about this version, compared to the PC & XT version: This is for the IBM-PC, there isn't any hard disk support AFAICT. The Bios INIT: entry is a few pages lower in memory. The Boot Sector is different code, it is a one stage loader, it expects CPM.SYS to be first in the disk directory, and first file on the disk, and of a certain size. There is an 'Easter Egg' banner in the boot code. It is accessed by pressing all of: Left-Shift, Right-shift, Ctrl, and Alt, at the same time, as the system boots. It is a message from Dean Ballard, that he wrote the Bios. [The PC&XT version has an easter egg as well, accessed by pressing the R-shift and the question mark keys, as the system boots. It too, is a message from Dean Ballard, that he wrote 'much of the code'. The PC&XT boot loader is a two stage loader, the 1st sector loads the secondary loader found on Trk0 Sectors 5,6,7,8 into memory, this 2nd then finds & loads CPM.SYS or CCPM.SYS] This does not have the AT-Patch installed, meaning CP/M overwrites many of the Page Zero interrupt vectors to an interrupt trap within itself, by design. This is of no problem on a PC/XT, it is a problem on more recent processors. I can boot this on an XT clone, if I remove the SCSI HD Controller from the buss. With a Seagate ST-01 installed, it loops reboot attempts. With a Future Domain SCSI Controller, it locks up in the Banner Page. Without either, it works fine. --eof--
