The terminal will display the following message: //TinyLoad 1\\ G xxxx when done// Uncheck the “binary box” and leave it unchecked for the remaining operation; send progSST39F040.hex. When the load is completed, type “G 8000” ← upper case 'G', and 8000 will not echo back. The following message will be displayed: //…………………………………………UX\\ G\\ ZZ80MB Programmer for SST39SF040 ver 0.1 10/1220\\ SST39SF040 will now be erased\\ Enter Y to proceed, all other keys to abort// Type 'Y' ←upper case 'Y' to erase SST39F040, then send 'ZZ80MBmon.hex'.

Use the monitor 'x' command to initialize CF disk: type 'xA' followed by carriage return to initialize drive A ← note the drive letters must be in upper case. type 'xB' followed by carriage return to initialize drive B type 'xC' followed by carriage return to initialize drive C type 'xD' followed by carriage return to initialize drive D >x clear disk directories A -- drive A, B -- drive B: C -- drive C, D -- drive D, A press Return to execute command>x clear disk directories A -- drive A, B -- drive B: C -- drive C, D -- drive D, B press Return to execute command>x clear disk directories A -- drive A, B -- drive B: C -- drive C, D -- drive D, C press Return to execute command>x clear disk directories A -- drive A, B -- drive B: C -- drive C, D -- drive D, D press Return to execute command ==== Install CP/M2.2 BDOS/CCP/BIOS ==== At ZZ80MB monitor command prompt, send 'cpm22all.hex' to ZZ80MB type 'c2' to install CP/M2.2 BDOS/CCP/BIOS in reserved space in the CF disk .........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................UX>>copy to CF disk 1--User Apps, 2--CP/M2.2: 3--CP/M3: 2 press Return to execute command> ==== Install XMODEM ==== Once the CP/M2.2 is installed, the first file to load in the CF disk is the file transfer program, XMODEM: At ZZ80MB monitor command prompt, send XMODEM.HEX to ZZ80MB type 'b2' to boot into CP/M2.2.
