drac030 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 For those people, who are interested in running CP/M on their Indus GT, LDW Super 2000 or CA-2001. There is a tool written by trub, that can be used to repair the CP/M boot diskette, after re-creating it from the image at retrobits. The link to the program is here: http://atariki.krap.pl/index.php/CP/M_Tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 What do you get on the screen when you boot the terminal disk? This is what I get: Sorry for the major necro-bump, but I finally got my SRAM Charger installed. I have been able to get two boot disks working, but the one from your site only has 6 files. Do you know of an image that has everything shown in the sreenshot on your website? Also, anyone know where I can get a version of WordStar?

trub Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 The sreenshot shows files available on the other Indus CP/M disk, available at http://www.retrobits...ri/indus.shtml. Just download the CP/M images from there, fix them with CPMTool and you are done. Sorry for the confusion. Here is a source of Wordstar and other commercial CP/M sw: http://www.retroarchive.org/cpm/ (CP/M-80 is of our interest) Full-screen applicatons (WordStar, Turbo Pascal,etc.) should be configured first for a proper terminal (choose ADM-31 or ADM-3A as described on my site). This will make screen refresh somewhat faster. If you have VBXE, use TT (Trub Terminal), because it provides comfortable terminal speed.

+Stephen Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Well, I now have another problem. I tried two different versions of CP/M (Indus 2.2 rev 1.1 - indusscrutil, and Future CPM 2.2 rev 1.0 - indusrccpm1). When running ICDS from both versions, it will not read a directory on a double density DOS 2 formatted disk. It doesn't give an error, just doesn't show any files. When doing a "STAT A:" it shows 83kb free. Am I doing something wrong? I know the disks work because I can boot them to load the term80 program.

trub Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Follow the procedure on my site to copy files from Atari DOS to CP/M disk. If this does not help, type Ctrl+C before running ICDS to refresh the A: drive buffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Finally got it going! Rather slow when copying from an Atari to a CP/M disk. I'll quickly document my problems here for anyone else trying this. I will try to get a nice detailed blog post with some videos up soon - my desk is in an embarrassingly messy state at the moment, there probably won't be a video tonight When using ICDS, you have to use numbers 1-4 for Atari DOS disks, and letters A-E for CP/M disks. When using INIT to format the CP/M disk, you must run INIT from B:, and format the drive in A:. Do NOT run INIT from drive A:, then swap disks and format in A: To copy an Atari DOS disk from physical drive #2 to a CP/M disk in physical drive #1 (the Indus), from ICDS, type C then 2:*.*,A:*.* Thanks for your help trub.

tregare Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 do you have an special software to check IF I has supercharger GT daughter card inside my Indus GT Drive ? I wish to know if I has 1 inside my Indus GT or not ?? dunno if anyone answered you in pm, but trub's tool that rewrites the boot sectors on the cp/m disks will also test for the ram board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trub Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 It is nice to hear from you after that long time Tregare ! People keep on asking me about availability of your SRAMCharger PCB. Do you have some left or perhaps consider a new production batch ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trub Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 None of those stickers refer to RAMCharger. Either run CPMTool or see what is inside your drive (remove 2 screws at the back, 4 at bottom). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caterpiggle Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Okay, I will run your software in 1 day and see what happens to my Indus GT ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beetle Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hi, Beetle, Mike and me will try to build a ramcharger for that in February - March timeframe. Best regards Carsten Well, it took a few days more, but now Carstens Indus GT is on my workbench again. I built the SRAM charger with a PCB i got in 2008. The CPMTOOL.COM throws an "Error 61" when testing the SRAM Charger. On the website of the SRAM Charger only error 1-8 is explained. Any hints? On one picture of SRAM Charger i saw a bridge soldered to the Charger. Is that jumper wire needed? Greetings, Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetle Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Ok, i tried with and without that jumper wire now. Without the wire, CPMTOOL throws the ERROR 61 right after choosing menu entry for RAMCHARGER test. With the wire, after choosing the menu entry, the track counter starts counting upwards, then stops and also throws "ERROR 61". Possibly the error is a DOS error from the OSS DOS and not from CPMTOOL? Any hints would be highly appreciated.

trub Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) At what value does the track counter on the drive stop ? Edited January 23, 2017 by trub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetle Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 The 7-segment display has a minor problem, but i think its counting to FF, then returning to the track number is had before the test. Check my reply: with speed set to 0.25 . You can also read ROM version and the DOS i found on the disk in the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetle Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Too late for edit my posting :-( Here the screenshot with the error 61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trub Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Can you check if this more recent version 0.5 still reports an error ? cpmtool05.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
