Hello, all:
I got another disk image working -- AltairDOS. And again, I have no manuals
so I'm running a bit blind. This image seems to boot to a monitor program
and a dot prompt. Does anyone have a command list to go with this? I've also
gotten some error codes, so I probably need the whole manual.
Also, I'm having a bit of a tough time...because of the configuration of
the images I'm using, the status bits returned from the console are the
exact opposite of a BASIC implementation. So with the emulator one could use
*either* BASIC tapes *or* CP/M for example.
So, I'd like to put out a call for someone with the code for a CP/M 2.2
BIOS for an Altair with the MITS floppy controller and an SIO or 2SIO serial
card. Also, I'm going to need a layout of the floppy format because I will
probably have to write some disk image manipulation tools for Windows so
that I can regenerate a bootable CP/M image (straight T/S increments).
On a positive note, I was able to get the integrated debugger that I
borrowed from Jim Battle's Solace project working. This will prove to be a
big help later on. Thanks Jim!
Again, any help from those with a real Altair is greatly appreciated.
