All:
I?ve completed the rehab and reconstruction of a CompuPro Disk 1 system
for my IMSAI, creating a new system master from scratch. I?ll have a Web
page about it up shortly.
Anyway, I only have a simple disk formatting program that?s built into
the monitor ROM. I?ve heard that some specific versions of CP/M have
formatting programs but I can?t locate the source for one that?s appropriate
for the Disk 1 controller (which is based on the 8272 VLSI). I can make the
ROM version into a simple COM file, but I thought I?d poll the group before
building it myself.
Does anyone have the source code or a pointer to one?
Thanks.
Rich

New subject: Interesting project...
I recently ran into a kid that has a "new" classic computer that he built
himself.
See http://kaput.homeunix.org/
It's an 8080 based computer with a full front panel. He designed and
assembled it himself. All the boards are put together using point to
point wiring using wire-wrap sized wire, all soldered. It's pretty damn
neat. He's only 20 too. It's nice to see that he won't be counted among
the people that think building a computer involves dropping some cards
into a PC clone motherboard. :)

He also did a very amusing cover of the Portal Song (the ending theme
Still Alive), performed by a C64 SID. The SID adaptation is so-so but if
you've ever seen the end game, the displays are pretty much spot-on (even
the ASCII art).
