That worked perfectly...at least on the CP/Net files (haven't had time to try it with format yet). Since MacOS is Unix, I was able to use chmod to remove the executable flag and they showed right up in dir.

OK, I've gave Doug a day off, now I have more questions about format.jar and, by extension, CP/Net. First, if it's important, I'm running the Kaypro emulator under the Zulu Java JRE (most recent version, I think) on MacOS Monterey, M1 MacBook Air, on a APFS-formatted SSD. I don't know if file...

Thank you, Doug! That helps immensely. I see now that I wasn't understanding how to place the values in the format-options portion of the command line.

I have been unable to figure out how to use the format.jar program for the Kaypro simulator. Is it possible to see a real-world example of a format command? For instance, I would like to create a standard 5.25" DSDD from a TR0 file. What I think is really hanging me up is the actual syntax of...

The typo wasn't so much in the path name as it was I missed creating the "a" folder beneath it. That being said, I have some suggestions on your documentation, if you're open to them. And a few other questions about using top level folders...we can take them to email if you'd like (or leave...

Doug, I found the problem. There was a typo in my HostFileBdos folder name! Talk about blind...it works now. Sorry for the drama!

Hi, Doug. The sums all matched perfectly. Here is the content of my config file (which I'v also attached, adding a .txt extension to allow the upload): kaypro_model = 10E monitor_rom = 81-478a.rom wd1002_drive1 = ST412 wd1002_disk1 = ~/Retro/kaypro/WD1002-1 floppy_drive1 = FDD_5_25_DS_ST...

I'm actually downloading on a Mac, not Windows (though I've tried running the emulator on both Mac and Windows, with the same results). I have access to all the same crc/checksum utilities you do, so it probably wouldn't hurt to get a SHA value or something. Though, as I said, all the other hard...

Hi, Do Hi, Doug. My posts are still being moderated, and my response to your first reply hasn't been released yet. I went through my virtual Kaypro folder and cleared everything out, recopied the disk image and config files, renamed the disk, put the new disk name in the config (including the...

Hi, I was very pleased to discover the Virtual Kaypro website and spent last evening merrily mounting disk images and exploring. Unfortunately, the WD1002-0.U.cpm3 image with the kaypro10e and kaypro10.cpnet config files seems to get caught in a boot loop --over and over, it displays "*KAYPRO 10...
