cp/m - does that use the z80 in the fdd3000? what a shame it cant use more than one z80 -pds micro command etc
DMA in MB-02+ 1mb ram too

do you think i could use turbo mon to disassemble the code file on the tascon+d tap file? - i just need to look in the tap/tzx editor to find the code file length&org - check that the org is correct by merging the BASIC loader?

it is weird though there does seem to be some software and hardware development
have you seen the spectra and ula+ sites?
pity no one wants to give extra video ram a single extra processor!
i was hoping we'd have those 6mhz snapper from velesoft site zx spectrum programs running with six sets of line interrupts turning the screen on/off for 0-63 64-127 128-191 be ncie for three sams networked wunnit!

It's not that no one wants to give the extra processor, it's not as easy as slapping a 2nd processor in the box. Remember, the Z80 is processor from 1976, the first Multi-core processor didn't appear on the market until 25 years later in 2001.

How to start to load cpm. I got cpm2 disk image from other projects but cannot open under yours. Any hint?

One of the failings of this project at present is that it doesn't support disk images, it expects all files to be on the native filing system. I think that might have been defendable in the abstract were it not for the huge hassle of extracting files from CP/M disk images under macOS. I want to find a neater solution to this.
