> CP/M-68 is working well on the ECB mini-M68k CPU board, supported by the
>MF/PIC board for serial I/O and IDE interface (8255). The attached screen
>shows:
>
> F: the ROMdisk, with just a couple of utilities
> B: the RAMdisk, 1Mb. I'm glad I put 2Mb of SRAM on the CPU board. Half
>is for CP/M, and the other half is its RAMdisk.
> C: an 8Mb CP/M partition on a CF card. The photo shows a different,
>smaller CF card.
>
> This CP/M supports up to 16 drives -- as soon as I hook the disk
>initialization to the CF card partition table.
>
> Although this is CP/M 1.2, the binary utilities are from an extensive
>collection from Douglas. The release notes indicate that 1.3 was mostly bug
>fixes to utility programs.
>
> The boot process still needs streamlining, and a utility for setting up the
>partitions on IDE disks (i.e., CF cards) needs to be written.
>
> What is running now really has the feel of CP/M.
