After working with it a bit, it's very convenient being able to copy-paste directly into CP/M. I am using the screen command to keep a separate console session open for it.
screen -S cpm <-- creates a separate session [start minicom and get it working] Ctrl A, D <-- jump back to original linux session screen -list <-- list the sessions screen -r 61657.cpm (or whatever number it is assigned) <-- get back into your terminal session with CPM This way all of your work is still on the screen when you jump back to it. Nice! Now I need to get some tools setup in USER 1. The serial port is now taken for the console re-direct though, so there is no way to connect my backpack drive. Would the 'Cassette/BCR port' potentially work for redirect purposes as well? Tom On Wed, Nov 17, 2021 at 7:09 AM Stephen Adolph <[email protected]> wrote: > ah!
