  • altair-cpm-serialdisk

    Modifications for Lifeboat CPM 2.2 to run on the Altair 8800 using a virtual floppy drive accessed over serial from a modern PC

    • My code doesn't need to parse the disk images at all, it just seeks to the right location and returns the right number of bytes, just like a hardware floppy drive would do. See lines 164-166 here: https://github.com/barberd/altair-cpm-serialdisk/blob/main/serialdrive/serialdrive.py

  • altair2cpmraw

    Converts Altair 8" floppy images to something cpmtools can understand and back

    • But, separately, I did write a converter from Altair 137-byte sectors to standard 128-byte sectors to do disk image manipulation with cpmtools, see here: https://github.com/barberd/altair2cpmraw
