Hi,
I had a copy of the Walnut Creek CP/M archive from 1994 on CD-ROM but unfortunately it was damaged. There are several files I cannot access.

Would anyone do me a favor and make an ISO image of the CD-ROM and upload it to an archive?

Thanks!

Tony,
Excellent idea! I will use the website cloning tool to just recreate the ISO locally. THANK YOU!

Good point. Sorry about that Gene!

As for the CD-ROM I currently have, who knows what the versions are and I have no idea if Gene's file set version matches mine. Some files on the CD read occasionally and some won't read at all. My CD has either been damaged or the media is degrading. I have tried reading it on several drives but the results are mixed at best but it consistently won't read the whole thing.

Rather than create a munge of who knows what file versions, I think it'd be better and quicker to just start over with a clean set and rebuild from scratch. I keep the cloning tool on the "friendly" setting to keep the BW reasonable. Hopefully it won't be a problem

Thanks!

I noticed that the file listing has a directory called "Commodore". Are those files for the Commodore Pet, or some other Commodore computer?

What computers can you use these files on?

The files I'm looking at are specific for C64 and C128 computers. For the C64 you'd need the Z80 Cartridge CPU (obviously) to run CP/M on it though! :-D Doesn't the C128 already have that Z80 built-in or am I confuised. C128 generally runs CP/M better from what I hear!
 
No problem on downloading the files - but you might want to stage it a bit. Jay from classiccmp.org is hosting the site for me.

The walnut creek directory is a straight copy from the CD I got years ago.

The C28 has a Z80 and runs CP/M fine, but a little slow. And yes, the C128 runs CP/M better than the C64. The CP/M cart for the C64 was an addon, and the CP/M support in the C128 was put in there from the begining.

.. but according to the designers, the C128 CP/M mode was an after-construction when a salesman had promised CP/M without checking if the C64 CP/M cartridge would work .. which it didn't so they had to throw in a Z80 etc into the C128.

After-construction or not, it's still better than the C64 CP/M-cart. Especially a C128 together with a 1571-drive (or a C128D). That's the how I run CP/M for the moment.

Found a complete iso image of November 1994 Walnut Creek CDROM

Found a complete iso image of November 1994 Walnut Creek CDROM

I know this is a long time after the original question, but I have been searching around for ages to find a complete archive of the Walnut Creek CDROM. All the archives I went to have bits missing, including the one at RetroArchive. The main thing that seems to be missing is the beehive collection.

I have now found a complete iso image of the November 1994 Walnut Creek CDROM at http://www.loomcom.com/cpm/

Hope this helps people.

I think I may be at least partly responsible. I sent out many copies of my disc before I realized that it was kinda corruptie. Most of the ones I see on the net seem to be copies of the same corrupted crap. I have now d/l-ed the .iso, so even I will have a good copy now. As for stuff missing, it ain't necessarily so. The CD is pretty much shovelware, so many of the programs exist in multiple dups on different parts of the disc, so what ain't present in one directory might be located elsewhere.

I have a nearly new copy of this CDROM. I would be happy to make copies for postage.
