Although CP/M-68 supports partitions > 8Mb (16384 sectors), in
fact up to 512Mb, I don't think 'cpmtools' can handle anything as
big as a 24Mb partition. Cut that 0x52 partition down to 8Mb or
under, and I think you'll be able to get to it with 'cpmtools.'<br>

I assume you are booting CP/M-68 with the "C"
option.<br>
<br>
Does the "D" option work? [list FAT16 Directory]<br>
<br>
When you get the boot message, the directory of the
FAT16 partition, type 0x06, on the CF card (device
44 on the MF/PIC board) should be listed. This
allows you to boot any m68K .coff file (A.OUT) or
binary (*.BIN) file in the FAT16 partition.<br>
<br>
The cross compiler I have used is the Ashware GCC
2.95 compiler. CP/M-68 is compiled with the Ashware
suite of cross-tools.<br>
<br>
The FAT16 partition is first; and the CP/M 0x52
partition is second; I think I have an extended
partition on this CF card, also, third partition
table entry.<br>

<div>That's great news!</div>

<div>Despite supporting Logical Block

received two brand-new SanDisk
64MB CF cards to try with the

used the same partition tool,
and re-sized it to 32mb (FAT16

(unformatted type 0x52,
primary, active). For some
reason when you do this,
there’s 8mb of
unallocated space and no

least with this tool. Maybe
using a *nix alternative would
work better.</div>
