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.
