Since the MB03+ includes both DivIDE and DivMMC hardware, ESXDOS for both devices is installed in the firmware and ready to run. Press "2" or "@" after booting to run ESXDOS.
There is also a MB03+ IDE/MMC flasher in the latest ESXDOS archive as well as in the newest MB03+ firmware (named MB03PLUS.TAP and 2-Esxdos.tap).

Z80DMA support was added into the kernel of the ESXDOS v0.8.7., a driver for I/O operations, configurable via a config file.
You could enable DMA support by setting "DMA=1" in the file /SYS/CONFIG/ESXDOS.CFG.

The content of the SD card, supplied with the MB03+, with ESXDOS system files and other useful software, is in the section Download, https://sites.google.com/view/mb03plus/download

Tips for ESXDOS

With the installation instructions from http://esxdos.org/index.html comes a basic set of information. If you want to learn more, go to the forum http://board.esxdos.org/.

A new NMI handler and navigator for ESXDOS is available, by david_ps, with Kempston joystick support, poke features, new dot commands and extras for (up to 4) TRD files http://board.esxdos.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1370#p1370

Please study files in the /SYS/CONFIG directory. The “AlwaysBoot=1” option set in TRDOS.CFG makes TR-DOS Navigator loaded even if there is not a BOOT file in the TR-DOS disk. You can speed up data transfers with DMA support enabled, by "DMA=1" in ESXDOS.CFG.

New and improved commands in preparation: .CP, .OPEN, .CLOSE, .TE
