Compact Flash board v1

[Grahame Benson]

Many years ago I bought one of these with a 64Mb CF card which came programmed with cpm or romwbw. I am trying to find these images on line if anyone can help .

All the RomWBW images can be found here https://github.com/wwarthen/RomWBW/tree/master/Binary

You won't actually find the pre-built binaries at this location.  I suggest you read the introductory page of the RomWBW GitHub repository found at https://github.com/wwarthen/RomWBW.  Look for the section called "ROM Distribution" and it will direct you to where and how to get what you need.

Please ask here if you get lost.

Thanks, Wayne

Strange did they move I remember that I had to download the images from there.

Not that I know of.  The location you reference is the "source" files for the Binary directory.  It should not have ever contained the "built" binary ROM or Disk images.

All of the pre-built stuff is placed in a .zip file that is found within the releases on the RomWBW Releases Page.  Each release has Assets and one of those will be named something like "RomWBW-v3.5.1-Package.zip".  You download that .zip file, expand it, and find the pre-built binaries in the Binary folder of the expanded zip file.

Thanks, Wayne

Ha yeah well I've been building them manually from the git checked out git repo so that is causing the confusion. Never mind the zip file download should cover anything the OP would need.

Hi Grahame,

It looks like you bought both an RC2014 Pro, and an RC2014 Zed Pro over the years.  So for the RomWBW images, see the replies from Wayne and Willy. 

For CP/M 2.1 as supplied on the RC2014 Pro, see the "CPM Inc Transient Apps SIO2.img.zip" file on GitHub here https://github.com/RC2014Z80/RC2014/tree/master/CPM

Cheers

Spencer

Hi Spencer, 

You supplied me a 64Mb flash which had 4 options of blank, romwbw, cpm 68b50 or sio2. The image file you pointed me to appears to be 126Mb, and although I have a 2Gb card, I suspect its too large to work properly as its not readable, so thats why I wanted to use the old 64Mb to prove a point

Hi Grahame,

The CP/M 2.1 image I used on 64mb cards was the same one that I linked to, but with only the first 64mb of it on the card.  So, instead of having 16 8mb drives A - P (with P being a bit less than 8mb), there was just 8 8mb drives A - H (with H being a bit less than 8mb)

The v1 compact flash modules are pretty fussy about which cards they used.  (The v1.3 are a lot better, although v2.1 work with everything except for Transflash) so if you have issues reading a 2gb card then that would probably be why.

Hope that helps

Spencer
