PHIL,
REGRETTABLY, I SUSPECT THAT BIOS WILL BE COPYRIGHTED. I KNOW THE ONE
FOR MY MORROW IS COPYRIGHTED BY MORROW, BUT LUCKILY MORROW PROVIDED THE
SOURCE CODE FOR MINE, SO HACKING IS A (RELATIVE) JOY. NEVER SAW SOURCE
FOR THE APPLE CP/M BIOS FROM ANYONE.
ON TWO OF THE SYSTEMS I WORKED ON (ONE WITH A SANTA CLARA HARD DISK, AND
THE ONE I'M ON (TEMPORARILY) RIGHT NOW, CPM56.COM WAS PROVIDED WITH THE
SYSTEM DISK. THAT OF COURSE INCLUDED THE APPROPRIATE BIOS, BUT AS PART
OF CP/M ITSELF. I DID START DISASSEMBLING THE ONE FOR THE SANTA CLARA,
AND MANAGED SOME TOAD HALL PATCHES, BUT NO FUN!
REGRETS, BUT I DON'T THINK I SHOULD TRY TO UPLOAD WHAT I DO HAVE.
PROBABLY ILLEGAL, AND THE HARD DISK BIOS WILL BE TOTALLY WRONG FOR YOU
ANYWAY.
REGARDS,
DAVID KIRSCHBAUM
