Downloading and using CP/M software on the Z80 Playground
Some people have asked me how to get software for the Z80 Playground, so here are a couple of examples of downloading old software from the internet and installing it on the Z80 Playground. It needs to be CP/M software, for CP/M v2.2 in order to work, which means a .COM file. In these examples I get a text editor from http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cp... and an Infocom game from http://www.samcoupe-pro-dos.co.uk/cpm... The Windows tools I use are SAMdisk3811 and cpcxfs. On the CP/M side I just use UNARC to extract files from the .ARK file.
