Thank you for accepting me in the Group.
I have worked a lot with Z80 and CP/M 2.2 in the mid/late 1980s, but not recently. My old CP/M machine died long time ago and anyway the size and outlook of it confined it to the garage for the rest of its life, so I built an SC-126 Z180 based SBC from the Small Computer Central, along with CF-card interface.
I am running RomWBW 3.4.0 with it:

I tried to set up the 4G CF card to have CP/M slices and have another partition with FAT to be able to move tools, sources, etc from my Windows machine.
It failed, when I initialised the FAT partition then it destroyed the CP/M slices. I discovered on Github, that the FAT.COM included with 3.4.0 was not the right version, so I downloaded the one from 3.4.1.
Using that the result is better, but I still cannot read the content of the CF card in Windows. It shows up as an empty drive.
The partition table as follows: First and 512M partition for CP/Mm slices and then after a 1Mb gap a 384 Mb partition for FAT:

Formatted it as I understood from the manual:
C>fat format 2:
About to format FAT Filesystem on Disk Unit #2.
All existing FAT partition data will be destroyed!!!
Continue (y/n)?

Windows disk manager shows also that I have a primary partition of 512MB and a healthy primary partition of FAT type and of 384MB.
However if I write a file on this CF card in Windows, that is invisible on CP/M, and vice-versa...
I found it strange, that I created some directories on the FAT file system with FAT MD command, which shows up. Copied one or two files in there.
Then, when in desperation I tried again from scratch, partitioning the CF card, but this time leaving a 2 Mb gap between the RomWBW partition and the FAT partition, formatted the FAT partition again, but:
- after the format, i could see my old directories and files created --> that should be impossible, because the partition was moved up by one MB!!!
- but the FAT DEL command could delete those files/directories.
So it looks if FAT FORMAT acts somewhere on the CF card, but FAT DIR, FAT DEL, FAT COPY acts somewhere else..
Can someone help me what am I doing wrong?
Thanks a lot,
Zoltan

It seems like what you are doing is generally correct.
When you formatted the FAT partition (prior to moving the partition), you say that it shows up as an empty drive. That would be correct since there would not be anything in it at that point.
I can't explain what is happening after you moved the FAT partition. Can you please post a copy of the new partition table? Is it possible that you made the partition changes, but did not use the 'W' command in FDISK80 to write the changes?
I could be of more help if you post a complete session log. I suggest you start over and write the hd1k_combo.img image to the disk using Windows. Then put that disk in yout SC126 and do the FORMAT. Then do a DIR. The try doing a file copy. Post your session log hered and I should be able to tell what is going wrong.
Below is a session log that I just created following the steps I suggest. This what "should" happen.
Thanks,
Wayne

I appreciate your prompt response :)
So, copied a combo image to the CF card:
F:\>dir
Volume in drive F has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 2821-0DB6
Directory of F:\

The partition table is what it should be, so it seems, that I wrote it back to the disk

Thank you for the complete session information -- very helpful. Well the good news is that I see the problem. The bad news is the issue is at the beginning of the process.
The disk image file (hd1k_combo.img) is a raw image file. It must be written to your SD Card using a raw block transfer starting at the very beginning of the card using an appropriate tool. It cannot be written to the SD Card with Windows File Explorer.
The RomWBW distribution includes the required tool to do this (for Windows). It is called Win32DiskImager and is found in the Tools\Win32DiskImager directory of the distribution archive.
Insert the SD Card in your Windows machine, then start the tool. Select the drive letter of your SD Card device and enter the filename of the disk image file. It should look something like this:
Then click "Write". There will be a confirmation dialog like this:
Click Yes and it should proceed to write the image to the SD Card. When done you
should get a confirmation message like this:
At this point, you can move the SD Card to your SC126, boot, and proceed with the FAT FORMAT, etc.
Thanks,
Wayne

Thanks again,
Well, I did not get it first, that you actually wanted me to burn a disk image to the CF card and boot from it.
I did it.
I used Rufus, that is the tool I use for similar purposes and it was successful.
As you can see from the log below, I could boot from the CF image. I could format the FAT partition. I created a directory, copied files over to that directory and I could successfully list the files. Actually mounting that card on Windows, I could get the directory and files I copied from CP/M.
So, it is a success so far.
Does it tell me, that I would need to install the latest FW image onto the system (or keep booting from the CF card).
I do have spare flash chips, but I do not have a dedicated programmer. With some work I could build one, but there must be an easier way. Do you have a more or less safe process to do it, given that the SC126 has two flash sockets, though they are jumper selectable.
As far as i am concerned, I need to RomWBW flash in place to be able to start up the system.
Once the system is booted up from CF card, I could run the flash updater. Can I update in place? Or can I swap the jumper over to the other socket? I assume no, as you use bank switching heavily. What is your suggested process?
Please see the session log:

Hi Zoltan,

Well, I did not get it first, that you actually wanted me to burn a disk image to the CF card and boot from it.I did it.I used Rufus, that is the tool I use for similar purposes and it was successful.As you can see from the log below, I could boot from the CF image. I could format the FAT partition. I created a directory, copied files over to that directory and I could successfully list the files. Actually mounting that card on Windows, I could get the directory and files I copied from CP/M.So, it is a success so far.
Yes, the session log below looks fine.
Does it tell me, that I would need to install the latest FW image onto the system (or keep booting from the CF card).
Not sure I understand your question. You are running the current firmware and the current CF Card image. You can boot an OS from ROM or from disk. Either way is fine. Once you have a working disk (as you do), I recommend booting from disk. It is helpful to have the additional files on A: drive that are provided by a disk boot. There is no specific reason to update your firmware at this point unless you want to test the Development Snapshots.
I do have spare flash chips, but I do not have a dedicated programmer. With some work I could build one, but there must be an easier way. Do you have a more or less safe process to do it, given that the SC126 has two flash sockets, though they are jumper selectable.
As far as i am concerned, I need to RomWBW flash in place to be able to start up the system.Once the system is booted up from CF card, I could run the flash updater. Can I update in place? Or can I swap the jumper over to the other socket? I assume no, as you use bank switching heavily. What is your suggested process?
There is a tool to update the ROM in-situ. It is called FLASH.COM and is included on the CP/M disk drive. It will reprogram the ROM using a file on disk. You can get the new firmware file to your disk by using the FAT filesystem. Copy the new firmware file to the FAT filesystem on your Windows PC. Move it to the SC126. Then use FAT COPY to copy the ROM image to a CP/M drive. Then use FLASH to reprogram the ROM.
Yes, you do need a working ROM to boot the system, so reprogramming the ROM in-situ has some risk. If something goes wrong, your system could be unbootable. Some people have used the dual ROM sockets of the SC126 to avoid this. After RomWBW boots, it is running from RAM. So, you can "switch" the ROMs while the SC126 is running. This allows you to boot on one ROM, then switch to the other ROM before running FLASH. This allows you to reprogram the alternate ROM and not jeopardize the working boot ROM.
Switching ROMs on a running system is not officially supported, so YMMV. This is a somewhat advanced technique, so proceed carefully if you decide to try it.
I would also recommend reviewing Chapter 7 Upgrading of the RomWBW User Guide. It covers upgrading and provides more detail.
Thanks, Wayne

Hi Zoltan -
I'm sorry that I can't help with your CF issue, but you do have the best person available to help you.
I have an SC126, booting from uSD rather than CF, but I can confirm that I routinely use the FLASH.COM utility to update a flash chip, and not necessarily the one which I booted the system from. For example, I always keep the latest 'stable' release of RomWBW in one flash chip and then frequently update the second flash chip with the dev versions of RomWBW. I have never had a problem with corrupting a flash chip. Switching chip and write-protect 'on the fly' seems to work fine. I've never had a problem.
Note that I always ensure that the chips are physically write-protected, and only un-protect the one I intend to write to just for the duration of the write. I do this so often that I have now replaced the SC126 jumper block with little toggle switches (such as the one the SC126 uses for power).
Good luck -
MartinR

Hi Wayne,
Thanks again for spending time with educating the FNGs :)

You are right: booting from the CF card gives me much more space for programs, etc. I am not arguing that.
However, I do not understand while setting up using my burned in FW v3.4.0 failed. According to the change log the only difference between 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 is the updated FAT.COM, which I took from the repo and Xmodem-ed to the RAM disk. It would be nice to understand the reason, nothing else.
Regarding upgrading the FW in place, I might give it a try. I replace my SCM ROM with an blank Flash and once the system booted, I switch over to it. then try to run FLASH.COM. Sounds like a good experience in case I am forced to do it for one reason or another. :)
I was happy to see Kermit and Wordstar in the combo image - nice memories from the time I was a student.
My next project will be to add an FDC (strong candidate is the RC-2014 WDC-37C65 based one) - I have a NOS 8" half-height Shugart drive, can't wait to hear the noise of seek and head up and down, when assembling something especially with list file and x-ref generation.
I am also thinking of building a flash programmer on an SC724 breakout board (with 3xaddress latches, data and control signals directly on the bus with some buffers if I have too much time). I was thinking to modifying the FLASH.COM to support it or writing something from scratch.
If there is anything useful, potential value comes out of those, I will share in the group.
Cheers,
Zoltan

Yes, as long as you are careful, there is minimal chance of corrupting your working boot ROM. This would be a good way to upgrade to 3.4.1. Alternatively, if you get XModem or KERMIT working, you could just transfer the disk image to a hard disk drive and run FLASH on that.
I was happy to see Kermit and Wordstar in the combo image - nice memories from the time I was a student.
I also have fond memories of both. Back in the day, I wrote one of the original version of Kermit for Windows. It still runs on Windows 11. 😀

Sounds great. Be aware that FLASH.COM is a product of Will Sowerbutts. He maintains this project at the flash4 GitHub Page. I recommend coordinating any changes to that tool with him.

Hi MartinR,
Thanks for confirming that writing firmware in the spare socket on the SC126 actually works. I have not tried it yet, but will do.
You mentioned SD-card.
Can you guide me on that please: I am aware that the SC126 has SD/SPI ports. Are you using some commercially available SD card adapter. I guess some sort of level shifter is at least required, most SD cards are using 3.3V logic, while the SC126 has 5V (HCT) logic.
Thanks,
Zoltan

Hi Zoltan -
Yes - definitely - swapping ROMs on the SC126 'on the fly' works reliably for me and I've done it regularly for the last 18+ months in order to do upgrades of RomWBW.
I use a 6-pin plug-in micro-SD module plugged directly into P2 on the SC126. The socket is labelled 'SPI SD Card'. When I bought my SC126 kit from SCC I added the optional adaptor as I knew I would need it. No level-separate shifters are required - the module does everything necessary, and no configuration of it was necessary. RomWBW recognises it as SD0: at boot, and once I'd loaded it with one of the disk images supplied with RomWBW it works as expected. I'm currently using it with a 64GByte Kingston uSD card that I had spare, and have lots of CP/M slices as well as a large FAT partition in order to exchange files with my Windows11 PC.
Steve Cousins lists these modules as an SC303 under 'Accessories' in his online stores, and they are low cost at 2GBP. See: https://small-computers-direct.square.site/product/sc303-micro-sd-card-adapter/6?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=5L72I4SJE6JBRTC3D3C6OEPA You can readily find similar modules on eBay, Amazon etc, again for very small cost - but I've not used one myself as I've been using the one Steve supplied for 18+ months without issue.
I hope this helps. I've been using my SC126 with a micro-SD and RomWBW for a while and have found it it to be very stable and reliable.
All the best -

I seem to have overlooked that... No big drama, I have CF card, which is now working - thanks to the help received from Wayne -, but I have ordered a few of those adapters from eBay now.
