RunCPM on armbian - CP/M Weekend fun

[guidol]

https://github.com/MockbaTheBorg/RunCPM

there is a nice little CP/M emulator which do compile fine under armbian.

(There is also a version for the Arduino DUE with SD-Hat or a ESP32/Teensy)

 

With that you can run many CP/M-Software like Wordstar, dBase II and so on

 

Special on this emulation is that it do use directorys as drives

The directory A (or A/0/) would be Drive A>

 

Maybe you also want do something retro this weekend?

 

Here is how I did compile/install it on my OPi One:
 

compile RunCPM:
===============

install ncurses-dev and lua:
============================
apt install libncurses5-dev liblua5.3-dev git make

cd /home/guido/
git clone https://github.com/MockbaTheBorg/RunCPM RunCPM_git
cd RunCPM_git/RunCPM
make posix clean
make posix build
mkdir /home/guido/RunCPM
mkdir /home/guido/RunCPM/A
mkdir /home/guido/RunCPM/A/0
cp RunCPM /home/guido/RunCPM
cp /home/guido/RunCPM_git/CCP/* /home/guido/RunCPM
cp /home/guido/RunCPM_git/DISK/A.ZIP /home/guido/RunCPM/A/0
cd /home/guido/RunCPM/A/0
unzip A.ZIP
cd /home/guido/RunCPM

To start the Emulation:
=======================
./RunCPM

To exit the emulation:
======================
a> exit
