ampro ==== ## CP/M The Ampro Little Board was a very simple and cheap Z80-based computer from 1984, which ran CP/M. It was, in fact, a single PCB which you could mount on the bottom of a 5.25" drive. [All about the Ampro Little Board](http://oldcomputers.net/ampro-little-board.html) It stored either 400kB on a double-sided 40-track drive or 800kB on a double-sided 80 track drive. The disk format it used was a slightly quirky variation of the standard MFM IBM scheme --- sector numbering starts at 17 rather than 1 (or Acorn's 0). FluxEngine supports this. FluxEngine has direct filesystem support for these disks, or you can pass the disk images into [cpmtools](http://www.moria.de/~michael/cpmtools/): ``` $ cpmls -f ampdsdd ampro.img 0: -a60014.e amprodsk.com bitchk.doc bitchk.mac cpmmac.mac dir.com himem.doc himem.mac kaydiag.lbr kayinfo.lbr ...etc... ``` ## Options - Format variants: - `400`: 400kB 40-track DSDD - `800`: 800kB 80-track DSDD ## Examples To read: - `fluxengine read -c ampro --400 -s drive:0 -o ampro.img` - `fluxengine read -c ampro --800 -s drive:0 -o ampro.img` ## References - [The Ampro Little Board](http://oldcomputers.net/ampro-little-board.html)
