If you are interested, all pertinent documentation is here: https://www.retrobrewcomputers.org/doku.php?id=builderpages:rhkoolstar:start The FPGA configurations are somewhere near the end.

I do not know if it will be of any help, but this is my implementation for an FPGA system. The disks are 8M segments on an SD card

You might want to look at an ESP8266 module. they sell for a few bucks on Ebay (eg. item number 295923016851) Command set attached.

Maybe what you have is 92 volumes of the CPMUG archive I have a copy of these too Attached is an index of these disks

The SIGM archives used to be found here: /cpmarchives/cpm/mirrors/oak.oakland.edu/pub/sigm I have a copy, here is an index of all 310 volumes:

Same here. I based my system on CP/mega88 by Takashi Toyoshima, (also an i8080 emulator) but turned it into an Z80 emulator with several more modifications. It is now running in an ATMega 168 @ 20 MHz. it boots CP/M 2.2, CP/M 3.1, Dos+, ZCPR2/ZSDOS and ZPM. The apparent speed is something like...

Maybe you could benefit from using hTest-hFormat from Kolod research. I have version 2.1 (attached) It comes with an extensive manual, of which I do not have a digital copy. Maybe you can find it somewhere on the web.

does this help?

Ah, OOPS... Correct image attached. Consider PC-File as a bonus :-P

My suggestions would be PC-Talk , Bitcomv3.02 or Supercom v1.01. And then there is Smartterm v 2.4, but that one comes on 3 floppies. (installs on only one though) Images are attached. If you need only the files, let me know

Using download only needs 2 steps: 'hexxfer filename' to create the package, and ALT-S to start serial transfer, (Minicom already knows where to find the package file) select ASCII and ENTER. It ends up under the correct user too. I never bothered to adapt hexxfer for more than one file. If I...

I use a version of Grant Searle's (http://www.searle.wales/) DOWNLOAD.COM for uploading files using the console interface. I have modified versions that work on most CP/M derivatives as well as a packager program in BASH. It is very useful, it only requires a stable serial connection and robust...

I understand why you would consider serial numbers. Microsoft does this all the time. I have difficulty understanding why you would want to forcefully match BDOS and CCP when you were supposed to treat them as monolithic anyway. I Guess the possibility of overwriting (part of) BDOS became...

I checked, My Ampro littleboard BIOS also loads both CCP and BDOS at warm boot. This seems to be the best practice then. Thanks for the help

Then Why use a serial (version) number at all? I can understand you don't want to load a CCP which does not match the BDOS, but when you always load both there is no point to it is there?
