- anthk 6y agoDoes it run on the altair sim? any, the one from Simh, altairz80, or anything else.
- tyingq 6y agoIt's listed for this altair simulator: https://schorn.ch/altair_4.php https://schorn.ch/altair_4.php
- anthk 6y agoBut that doesn't replace the whole CP/M I think, just the shell. EDIT: I already mentioned altairz80, so I knew that page, indeed. The last time I tried a replacement I had the same issue: there is no libre CP/M 2.2 a la FreeDOS, at least fully compatible for the Altair.
- tyingq 6y agoIf it's anything like my Kaypro, someone would have to port it to call out to the right BIOS routines for the display, I/O, etc.
- codebje 6y agoZSDOS provides replacements for two of the three parts of a CP/M system: BDOS and CPR. The existing BIOS should work perfectly with these replacements, and the BIOS is the only part that is machine specific. IOW it should run just fine, unless the simulator is written to hook into CP/M itself. I have my own z80 based system emulator where the BIOS is basically breakpoints into host code, and I didn't need to change anything to switch from DR's OS to ZSDOS.
