MP/M & CP/NET Networking Uncovered
Join me as I dive into the world of MP/M and CP/NET, using Udo Munk’s z80pack and cpmsim simulator to emulate these historic operating systems. Starting with a quick overview of Z80PACK and a network setup with 1 server and 4 clients, I hit a snag with serial communication issues. Watch as I troubleshoot and fix these challenges by digging into configuration files and assembly code, showing you how to recompile both CP/NET's SNIOS and MP/M's kernel to get everything working smoothly ...
