Enable the CP / M cartridge #348

Closed ZieglerLaura closed 6 years ago

ZieglerLaura commented 6 years ago

Hello, I would like to be able to get the CP / M back, I have the images of the disks but I can not start them. Is there a way to enable the CP / M cartridge ? Thank you very much for your help. Greetings, Laura

Unfortunately, there is no way to use the CP/M module. This module contains a lot of custom hardware (e.g., a Z80 processor), so it's like a second computer that is connected to the C64 via the expansion port. Supporting this module would mean to emulate a second, completely different computer which can't be done with respect to the available development resources.

Hello everyone, I have noticed this issue closed for a long time but I remembered to have something about the source files of the CPM cartridge for the Commodore64 and also some scheme, could be useful?

Those vatic of the VICE have it and they say it works, could we have it on our VirtualC64?

Yes, it's a nice module, but as said in my post above, it would require to emulate a second computer. We would need to hire some developers first.

If you don't mind, I close this issue again.
