Mmmm, I see...thanks John. I'm using the dreamdisk_masterdisk that loads something that's not really CP/M. If I try to use PIP an error appears telling me that "PIP" is not available; so after checking Dreamdisk ROM manual, I found the command "CP" that seems close enough to the ...

I slowly converted the ESGG_Exidy-RAMDISK_totaal_pakket_EXRAMDSK.pdf file to English. I first OCRed the original file using ABBYY Finereader 15 and saved it as PDF and as a MS Word document. I then extracted each page, one at a time, the Dutch text and passed it to Google Translate. The English Tra...

I've just tested the "no jumper" scenario in my Dreamdisk; but sadly, without BUSDIR jumper, the drive seems to be not recognized by the Sorcerer or at least, it doesn't boots. So, as I have installed a switch to easily change the jumper, in the old position the drive boots and reads as us...

Hi Claus!,

Yep, i remember it, it's a cool device despite the damn teensys. Why they're so expensive?.

Now there're nice alternatives much powerful than the 3.5, something like the RP2040 based dev boards.

Hahaha, it took me weeks!. I'm moderately skilled in electronics; but extremely clumsy with any kind of handwork. Anyhow, I can post here the box I've used, purchased in Aliexpress: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005005662471197.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.251.65b7194dem1kf1&gatew...

Nah, my skills as a photographer are below nil...

This is the best I can get:


It's the message shown after executing "EXRAMDSK C", so initializing and formatting the RAM disk. Seems that the expected RAM pack is not detected.

Just a little update to show what's probably my final Dreamdisk unit: Exidy_Dreamdisk.jpg A prototype case, some creamy and black spray painting and a lot of sawing did the trick. It's powered with a 5V PSU and has its own rocker switch. Maybe, if I find a way, I'll add some "Exidy" vynil ...

Hey, sure!, sorry for the sloppy response...

The byte to modifiy is this one:


Here's also the binary already patched:
Setting it to 1, the bootstrap will be allocated in $BF00

I'll post a new pic ASAP...

Thanks to the binaries posted above and some help from ChickenMan I've executed the tool and this is what I get: Running 01.jpg Sure, I don't have the RAM PAC, no 56KB are available :( After reading parts of the code, my first thought has been to declare the BOOTST variable as 1 to set the bootstrap...

Doh!, stupid mistake!. Seems that although I've downloaded the cpmtools from the repository, I've unzipped another windows version that simply put, it doesn't works at all. As stated in your first post, ONLY this version seems to work. Now I get the right directory listings from the images. Time to ...
