Hi,

Sorry if i write to you, but i have a question about running CPM on the Arduino DUE.

I downloaded all the files on GitHub, and i use ide 1.5.2 with the SDfat library, but the compile returns this error: class SdFile has no member named getFilename.

Is the worth library ? Can you send me the lib please?

Sorry for this, but i really want to run CPM on my DUE... I also made the Grant Searle CPM Z80 machine, and works fine, so i'd like to put them together and see the difference.

Thanks for all

Hi Marcelo,

Using CPM takes me back a few decades.

First, the file format is very different for CPM than the current formats used for today's storage devices.

Do you have any references for the CPM format?

I will look in my library, but I am not sure I have anything on the format, but I will look.

I do remember that there were a number of disk controller chips used in those days, which could also make many different formats.

There used to be a couple of CPM websites, but again, I have not looked for such things for a lot of years.
