Cromemco boot disk maker & images are available

Hi Guys, I've just posted my utility which allows you to make Cromemco BOOT disk via a serial cable and RDOS to my site: http://www.parse.com/~ddunfield/museum/index.html Go to the very bottom of the main page, and select "disks and images", the utility is called RT050410.ZIP (I'll think of a better name later). I've also posted CROMDISK.ZIP which contains: CDOS disk configured for dual 5.25" drives (It's easy to make an 8" disk from this) Cromix in both 5.25" and 8" formats. Please refer to the RT.TXT file enclosed for information on how it all works. NOTE: So far this has been tested and found to work on only my one Cromemco system, which is a System-3 with ZPU, 256KZ and 16FDC (plus a bunch of Tuarts, PRI and WDI boards which don't matter for this). This machine has dual Tandon 8" drives, and I've got a pair of Teac 5.25" drive attached externally ... The RDOS on the 16FDC is version 2.52 ... it is possible/likely that I have done things which may not be compatible with other versions of RDOS, please report your findings to me. I'm supposed to be picking up two more Cromemco systems next week, one of which I know has a 4FDC (I think the other is another 16FDC), so I should be able to verify/fix operation with the 4FDC shortly. If anyone happens to have a spare 64FDC, I would love to have one available so that I can get it working with the full set. Regards, Dave PS: Mike S. reports that the CDOS/INIT problem with 32k occurs only when you are running it in 64k - on a true 32k only system, he says it works OK - if you have only 32k, you may be able to skip the intermediate disk - hopefully we can dig up a version of CDOS & INIT which will resolve this little oddity. -- dave04a (at) Dave Dunfield dunfield (dot) Firmware development services & tools: www.dunfield.com com Collector of vintage computing equipment: http://www.parse.com/~ddunfield/museum/index.html
