Hi there,
I have finally decided to pursue a physical mean to run CP/M on my lab,
after working for some time on my emulator (http://runcpm.blogspot.com/).
After doing some quick google search I have found the N8VEM project, which
looks very interesting to me.
What I have in mind is:
. Run CP/M on a real Z80 processor
. Have the programs (not disk images) loaded on a SD card (the SD card
would be the CP/M disk)
. Serial port to my laptop would be the console, no need of VGA monitor
or keyboard
. 64K ram
This is a very minimalistic project I guess. Maybe the more complicated
part would be to have the CP/M apps loaded from a (fat filesystem) SD card.
I am wondering if someone could point me to a step-by-step procedure
showing which are the boards I need to buy (populated or not), if someone
already did this before and if the SD card part is even possible (I do have
a 3-1/2 floppy disk somewhere, but a SD card would be a plus).
Right now I am working on doing this from an Arduino DUE, but it is an
emulation of the Z80, I want to do it with dome real hardware.
Thanks a lot,
Marcelo.
