CpmFS

Do you need to copy files to or from a CP/M disk image? They’re a lot more convenient than disks. They take up less space. They never wear out. But how do you get files on and off them?

CpmFS is my solution. It’s an easy way to copy files between Windows and a CP/M disk image.

Features

– adapts to different disk image sizes
– ‎copies one file, or lots in a single go
– ‎shows you what’s on the disk (dir)
– ‎allows erasing files from the disk
– ‎allows renaming files on the disk
– ‎copies system tracks
– ‎writes boot sectors
– ‎understands standard disk sizes
– ‎understands Cromemco sizes (eg DSDD with SD track 0)
– small program size (currently less than 100 KB)
– no installation, and no DLLs required

UnFeatures

– it is a command line tool, like CP/M
– ‎you can’t rename groups of files in a single go, yet

Download

The software is free. Earlier versions were also open source, but for version 0.04 I’ve used some proprietary code that can’t be released. The source code for the earlier versions is available in cpm/cpmfs.

You can also download the latest version of the executable, or any of the earlier versions, from cpm/cpmfs.
