I have CP/M 2.2 running already, using the example de-blocking code
provided by DR. I'm trying to boot CP/M Plus from CP/M 2.2 so I'm
using the existing file system from 2.2 to read CPM3.SYS, and the
existing functions from the 2.2 BIOS in CP/M Plus.
I wrote a simple physical sector explorer to see what was being
written to the hard disk, which is an old 80MB ATA drive. Everything
is written in order, so I'm not sure what's going on.
If there is a problem it's with my LDRBIOS.ASM file. I'll keep at it.

the dri deblocker has a bug. I've never used it.
Also for hard disks Skew is pointless and can slow the system.
I believe that booting form CP/M 2 does not create a viable linked system.
