cpm 2.2 16k file limitation..

Post by gilmo »

.. after Using SDX07 file system recently, I have noticed a file-size limitation for data stored on disks , the file chunks can not exceed 16k (#4000)

apparently, CP/M 2.2 has a limitation where files are divided into 16K extents, and the file system can manage up to 512 extents per file in total.

CP/M Plus (CP/M 3) removes the 16K extents limitation present in CP/M 2.2 ..

the CFX does not have this file limitation though ..

what would be the workaround for removing this limitation in SDX07 ROM to bring it to a more usable state?! .. since most game-files stored on a floppy are 32k - 64k .. .. anyone knows?!
