Looking for Tarbell CP/M Boot Disks   Message List  
Reply Message #1413 of 2651 |
It seems like I spend more time searching for things than actually playing. I
guess that's the
nature of this obsession. So anyways, I'm trying to bring up a couple of
Tarbell 1011D single
density 8" floppy controllers and having a compatible CP/M boot disk would go a
long ways
toward bringing me joy. Does anyone out there have a working Tarbell setup that
could copy
some disks for me? I would be more than happy to supply blank disks, postage,
etc.

Thanks - Mardy

One of the members of this list (Steve?) sent me a copy of CP/M that was labeled "Burcom 56K CP/M 2.2" that was for the Altair and worked with the hard...

I don't think it was from me, Craig. I didn't use hard-sector CP/M very much. The two programs that I used that weren't available for MITS BASIC were Wordstar...

All, Is there a list member out there that, back in the day, that used CP/M, Altair specific or on another Altair / IEEE-696 buss based platform? I was...

... I run CP/M 2.2 on my IMSAI and did so back in the day. The ZORK text-based adventure games were popular. Also before MS Word there was Wordstar, which...

I actually did find a set of binaries for Tarbell CP/M 1.4 on that site. The problem is that it is just the individual application and BIOS components and not...

Hi Jack, No Tarbell hardware in my possession beyond my 1011D FDC. I do have (and am running) CP/M 2.2 with a deblocking BIOS that works with 128 or 512 byte...
