Help with CPMCP

Post by wyerd »

I'm able to use CPMCP to extract data from a disk image file, but I can't figure out how to add a file to the disk image. The syntax for CPMCP is very confusing!

To extract I've used:-
CPMCP -f memotech-type18 partition0.dat 0:file.mtx c:\cpmtools\partition0

What's the syntax to add?

Thanks!

Try

CPMCP -f memotech-type18 partition0.dat c:\cpmtools\partition0\file.mtx 0:

Hi David,

you are better off trying Andy's improved version that's he's called CPMCBFS - it's on his website.

The way I do things are to use CPCBFS to mount the SD card or file image as a drive under windows, then use copy/paste to move files like I would between normal windows drives

Some of my notes are on this page

Interesting. So how does it handle a SD card with multiple portions or blocks? Andy does say in his Remomorizer notes that it can also enumerate block devices and map drive letters to them.

By the type number

memotech-type18 is partition 0
memotech-type19 is partition 1

etc. as is shown at the bottom of my webpage

(you might have missed that if you looked earlier, there was a formatting problem with the webpage that put the bottom lines below the footer - fixed now though)

It still looks a bit strange.....

Does the SD card have to be 2GB or less as anything higher isn't read by the REMEMORizor?

CPMCBFS certainly makes managing CP/M files a lot easier!

I'd hazard a guess that the larger cards are all SDHC and not SD.

The were apparently changes to the standard, when they increased the capacity.

From Andy's REMEMOrizer pages .....


"REMEMOrizer includes an SD Card. SD Cards between 64MB and 1GB are supported. Only 64MB of data may be stored on them. REMEMOrizer considers them to contain 8 8MB partitions. This is somewhat generous, as the entire Memotech software library will fit comfortably within one 8MB partition."
