CPM-65, a CP/M-80 like operating system for 6502 based microcomputer

Dietrich Lausberg build a Junior long ago and expanded it to quite a system. He added hardware Elektor components, floppy and hard disk drives and wrote a CP/M inspired operating system, called CP/M-65. He still uses and maintains the system!

OUP/M – A 6502 CP/M Operating system

Posted on by

A thesis by Jian – Xiong Shao, 1983, titled OUP/M – A 6502 Operating system, contains a floppy disk based operating system for the 6502. It is modelled after CP/M and follows the same design principles.
In the development of OUP/M, an OSI C-3 microcomputer system was used. This system consists of a 6502 CPU, a dual 8-inch floppy disk drive, a console, a printer, and 56 K bytes of RAM.
On this machine all I/O is memory mapped and address space layout has to be taken into consideration.

For years only the document was available, archived on archive.org, with the source in the document.
Jian – Xiong Shao did not publish more 6502 code, further implementations are unknown.

See the OUP/M page for sources and binaries found on osiweb.

Elektor Junior pages updated

Posted on by

After several years so much new and correct information has been coming in!

While I was studying the Comal interpreter, I want to port it to the KIM-1, I realised the Elektor pages required some updating and reorganising.
I could not find easy what I needed: circuits and source listings. So I extracted the circuits from the articles and checked the various listings with the ROMs I had in my archive.
Also the sources that appeared the last years were checked, adapted and the binaries compared with the hex dumps. Some surprises, many faults and not with the correct names.
The ESS numbers are now attached to the ROMs.

Now you can have all the essential Elektor Junior information from base to full system with checked ROMs, with sources, step by step.

The complete archive of articles and books is also updated, especially the English articles are as complete as possible.

Have a look at the Elektor Junior pages!

With thanks to the many persons and fora that helped me to collect the information.

Focal runs on KIM-1 Simulator

Posted on by

KIM-1 Simulator version 1.1.6 has been published. Get it here.

It now supports Focal-V3D 12-AUG-77 (the Aresco version) from the KIM-1 Software page, see here.

Updates to the Simulator are a working echo suppression (see here for background). Available to any program.
For Focal V3D a setting has to be made in the Settings, to allow Focal to do its magic in the input routine.

By working on Focal I did add comments to the disassembly of what I found. You will find the original by Paul R. Santa-Marie and my partly commented version in the archive.
