CP/M software
CP/M software: Copying file(s) from CP/M to a modern computer.
04 Apr 2026
The method below is the simplest; read the manual for more options.
- Insert a removable SD card into a free fZ80 slot.
- It's simplest to export files already stored on the SD card. Use PIP to
copy files to the removeable card.
- "Log in" that drive in usual CP/M fashion by typing it's
drive name, eg. C:.
- Type the command
A:EXPORT afn where afn ("ambiguous
filename") specifies the file(s) you want to export; FILENAME.EXT,
FILENAME.*, etc. EXPORT lists file names and sector sizes as
progress.
- When the SD card's LED turns green again (it is red during writing) you
can remove the card and insert into a modern computer. The files so
exported will be in the /EXPORT folder.
