Hi,
Im trying to get some modem/teminal software onto a CPM-86 "disk"
I'm booting CP/M-86 using the serial port disk in XT-IDE (I dont have a real floppy drive) which works fine.
However, I need to get a serial transfer program onto a CP/M disk to run.

I was hoping I could just use dos but, of course, CP/M disks cant be read in dos.
22DISK wont recognise any drives on my machine and, in virtualbox, always returns write errors (using a 360k and 720k disk image)

Does anyone have a CP/M-86 floppy disk image with eg. modem9 on it? I've got all the files, just no way of actually getting them on to a CP/M disk image!
Thanks!

Hi! DOS Plus 1.2 might be able to read both FAT12 and CP/M file systems, also..
It's essentially CP/M 86 with a DOS emulator built-in (PC MODE).

How to install DOS Plus (PC1512 version) ?

Good luck! 😀
