Introduction:
z80pack is a Zilog Z80 and Intel 8080 cross development package for UNIX and Windows systems distributed with all sources under a BSD style license. Included are:The 8080 emulation was added in 2014, for running vintage systems based on the Intel 8080 with their original software.
The original 1987 version could not be released public, because it included proprietary components from various companies, but for the Z80 core I keept the copyright. So an emulation of a virtual complete computer system capable of runnning CP/M 1, CP/M 2, CP/M 3 and MP/M 2 has been build, as an example for what can be done with this software. The Z80 cross assembler was used to bootstrap CP/M 2.2 on the system, for CP/M 3 and MP/M 2 the loader BIOS's were written on an UNIX host, final work then was done under CP/M 2.2 running on the emulated system.
This virtual computer system has then been used to rebuild CP/M 1, CP/M 2, CP/M 3 and MP/M 2 completely from the sources. Also example implementations of CP/NET have been build, to network the virtual systems with this very early implementation of RPC (remote procedure calls). Additional disk images with all sources, tools and build scripts are available for download.
The system also runs the UCSD p-System Versions I.4, I.5, II.0 and IV.0. Disk images for ready-to-run systems as well as sources to rebuild the Z80 version are available in the download section.
Features of the virtual cpmsim computer system:
The Z80 core then was used together with John Kichury's front panel library, to build exact emulations of the Altair 8800, IMSA 8080 and Cromemco Z-1 computer systems, that can be fully operated via the front panel similar to the original machines. The IMSAI 3D computer model build by John is really stunning, see the screenshots.
In 2014 an Intel 8080 emulation was added, so that these machines can run original vintage 8080 software, like the MITS BASIC interpreter written by Bill Gates, Paul Allen and Monte Davidoff.
The Z80, 8080 and I/O emulations are written in ANSI C, the front panel emulation in C++, for POSIX compatible Open Systems. Systems on which the sources are known to compile are:
Other native ports to Microsoft Windows have been done, links are in the download section.
Home page of Digital Research where everything began.
All Digital Research CP/M material included was taken from
The Unofficial CP/M Web site,
the license for this material can be read there.
Other commercial CP/M material included was taken from
CP/M Commercial Software Archive.
Some user written tools were taken from the
Oak CP/M archive.
Various programs from the Walnut Creek CP/M CD-ROM have been used too,
an online copy is available
here.
The UCSD p-System on 8" disk images is available at
Bitsavers.
For documentation and software of the old machines you should visit
Bitsavers anyway.
Quickstart to run the Digital Research OS's:
diskdef ibm-3740 seclen 128 tracks 77 sectrk 26 blocksize 1024 maxdir 64 skew 6 boottrk 2 os p2dos endPlease note that the data tracks have a skew of 6, but the system tracks have a skew of 1, because I never implemented skews in the UNIX putsys programs. Using the correct skew made sense with Shugart floppy disk drives from 1976. Nowadays with SSD's used in personal computers transferring 500 MB/s and more the skew is only used for compatibility reasons.
To access the 4 MB harddisk image of z80pack verify the following disk
definition in /usr/local/share/diskdefs:
diskdef z80pack-hd seclen 128 tracks 255 sectrk 128 blocksize 2048 maxdir 1024 skew 0 boottrk 0 os 2.2 endTo access the 512 MB harddisk image verify this disk definition in /usr/local/share/diskdefs:
diskdef z80pack-hdb seclen 128 tracks 256 sectrk 16384 blocksize 16384 maxdir 8192 skew 0 boottrk 0 os 2.2 endThis definitions are included nowadys, if they are missing you need to add them. To access the 4 MB harddisk image (drives I: and J:) from the UNIX host always use the option -f z80pack-hd as in this example: cpmls -f z80pack-hd disks/drivei.cpm. Do not forget to use it, specially when copying files to the disk, without this option the harddisk image will be destroyed. Lets hope you made backup copies of the disk images.
Same with the 512 MB drive P:, always use the option -f z80pack-hdb to access this drive file.

Bibliography:
I still have Z80 data sheets from Zilog, Mostek and Hitachi and I also still have my CP/M 2, CP/M 3 and MP/M manuals and a bunch of other related books. All this material was used as reference to write this software. Unfortunately all these manuals are out of print, so it won't help anyone to reference it here. Instead I'm trying to provide links to online documentations, which will help you understanding this software.Guides for z80pack:
The documentation for z80pack is intentionally terse, to prevent a wall of text for those who are familiar with the old systems. Others have written pretty good guides for using z80pack, so reading these might help you.
