Subversion Repositories vg_z80_sbc

To create a disk image:

1. Convert a 275-byte sector VGI image to 512-byte sectors:

   vg2flash vgboot.vgi vgboot.bin

2. Convert .bin file to Intel Hex (I used Needham's EMP Device Programming

   Software.)

3. Convert to MCS file, use 'packihx':

   packihx vgboot.hex > vgboot.mcs

4. Add MCS header to first line of the file, use the first line of vgboot.mcs

   as an example.

4. Program vgboot.mcs to FLASH using the s3esk_picoblaze_nor_flash_programmer

   from Xilinx.  This will take long time (~1 hour) and will end with

   address 199FF0.

NOTE: If you run into a problem where the Hyperterminal hangs during

the 'P' command, power-cycle your S3E board, re-load the flash

programmer, and try again.

The SIMH/AltairZ80 Simulator can emulate a Vector Graphic system.  The

simulator and some sample disk images can be downloaded from:

http://www.schorn.ch/cpm/intro.php

The simulator can be used to create new disk images and copy files to

and from disk images.
