Tech Tangents on Nostr: This computer is not booting from disks and is stumping me a bit more than I thought. ...
This computer is not booting from disks and is stumping me a bit more than I thought. This is a Jonos Escort, a *very* early 3.5" portable CP/M Z80 system, and from my understanding is not common. I've also never used a CP/M system, so I'm not quite sure if I'm at fault or it is just having an issue.
This has Sony OA-D32V drives in it, I roughly serviced the top drive and can see the disk moving. The system also trys to load disks but never finishes. Are there any gotchas for booting CP/M?
