Welcome to Exidy Sorcerer Forums

Post by johnhalk »

Welcome to the Exidy Sorcerer Forums - dedicated to the Exidy Sorcerer !

We are still setting up the forum board index and the file downloads area so please be patient.

The file download area is available at http://filebrowser.exidysorcerer.net

No login is required for the file download area at this point - there is public guest access to the folders/files.

Please feel free to post into the general forum and introduce yourself and say hello.

Regards,
John Halkiadakis

Good to see a dedicated Sorcerer forum and repository as material is currently scattered all over the net at the moment.

Thanks ChickenMan - Welcome. :D

The goal is not to be the main/only Sorcerer repository - I plan to get ftp mirroring up and running with other sites on the Internet for the file download area.

Cheers.

Your Welcome :D . It was only setup yesterday. It's running on a hosted virtual server - Ubuntu Linux.

Thank you and Welcome.

What part of the world are you located in and what type of Sorcerer system do you have ?

Regards,
John

Excellent - please keep us updated on your progress.
Once we get some Dreamdisk users up and running it would be good to build a software library with Exidy sorcerer software on Dreamdisk format.

From existing Exidy CPM images on the internet you can use cpm tools utility to extract the files from the images and then write the files to the Dreamdisk format.

It’s also possible to use the diskdefs on Dreamdisk cpm to read the Exidy cpm (soft sector only) images directly on the sorcerer and then write them to Dreamdisk format.
