(there could be broken archives in Q1/Q2 2014. I hope they are fixed)
All the images are CopyQM (MS DOS program) (local copy) or setfdprm/dd images.
Both methods are described at Docs section.
All the disks are 800k disks, if no any specific notes.

This is (UNCHECKED) Boot image for R1715 with SCP3. Looks like that disk is for
R1715M, at least everyone on the net reports so. [CopyQM].
Это имадж бут диска с SCP3 для 1715.
Я его не проверял.
Источники говорят что он таки от 1715M. Честно, не помню. [CopyQM].

This is boot image for R1715 with SCP 2 0.05 (?)
This is known from several reports to be a good Robotron 1715 boot disk.
[CopyQM].
Это имадж бут диска с SCP2 для 1715. Ух как я его проверял!
Да его весь инет проверял, говорят что вот это самое правильный диск на свете!

This is image with SCP 0005 with TLC TELECOMMUNICATION PROGRAM !!!! (Terminal with some file transfer,
XMODEM I bet). Also, SCP-DOS.COM for copying files from MSDOS [setfdprm/dd].
UPD: OOOOPS! Looks like that is image of the same diskette as above! Just the same diskette found 14 years later!
(but why did not I notice TLC.COM?)
Files on the disk:
[2013]
This is image with SCP 0005 written for 40 tracks disks for loadind from B:! (size of file: 163840 )
Write in on PC with
setfdprm /dev/fd0 DD SS sect=16 ssize=256 cyl=40
Files on the disk:
It may be usefull if you have 40 tracks disk.
The system is configured for B: to be MFS1.2 256*16*40 ROB 5" DD-SD' (and A: to be "MFS1.6 1024x5x80 S2 5" DD-DS") @osmaxi.com is just CPA lying here as file; the disk itself is SCP - bootable.
On boot up it will say "Cannot read A:" - I)gnore it. Or C)ancel. Several times. Or I do not remember.

This is boot image for R 1715 with CPA OS and the SOURCE of BIOS! [setfdprm/dd]
As it looks like normal DD image, I made it off 3'5 disk attached to my PC 1715, and made it with
setfdprm /dev/fd0 DD sect=5 ssize=1024 cyl=80; dd if=/dev/fd0 of=robotron_cpa.img bs=1024
, but not with QD parameter to setfdprm, but I'm almost sure that it should be written as regular image on
5.25 drives (i.e. with QD).
You definitely want to start with this image at least if you are attaching 3.5 disk drive.
It contains:
@os.com OS itself. Bootloader loads it (much like in CP/M 3)
formatpx.com Format utility. Note: in german, to answer Yes in dialogs, use J instead of Y! (Ja means Yes)
CPA1715G System transfer,use CPA1715G Destdrive: @os.com
And the full source of bios!
To compile it, say
M80 BIOP.ERL=BIOP
,
and it will tell you how to call LINKMT to get @os.com
Experimentally I've found that the following defines for cpmtools work with CPA disks:
# Robotron 1715 with CPA
diskdef cpa1715
seclen 1024
tracks 160
sectrk 5
blocksize 2048
maxdir 128
skew 0
boottrk 0
os 3
end
Это - boot image для PC 1715 с OS CPA и с возможностью его пересобрать! [setfdprm/dd]
Несмотря на то что оно выглядит как нормальный DD image,
я его делал с 3'5 дисковода, который я приаттачил к PC1715, а на PC/Linux делал его
setfdprm /dev/fd0 DD sect=5 ssize=1024 cyl=80; dd if=/dev/fd0 of=robotron_cpa.img bs=1024
, а не с QD параметром как обычно. Впрочем, есть уверенность что если его писать
на 5'25 флоп то писать его как обычно, с QD.
Если вы собрались прихерачить 3'5 драйв к PC1715 - не думайте, начните с этого диска.
@os.com Операционка, бутер на диске грузит ее. Как в CP/M 3 короче.
formatpx.com format. Учтите! На немецком й/н надо отвечать как й/j! Ja! Ja! а не Yes!
CPA1715G Забутивалка диска (объясняет бутлодеру чего грузить) CPA1715G Destdrive: @os.com
И полный сорец биоса в одном флаконе!
Чтобы его собрать
M80 BIOP.ERL=BIOP
,
А потом оно скажет как звать LINKMT чтобы получить @os.com
Методом средневекового словацкого ученого Тыка я выяснил что эти дефайны для
cpmtools данные диски вполне читают:
# Robotron 1715 with CPA
diskdef cpa1715
seclen 1024
tracks 160
sectrk 5
blocksize 2048
maxdir 128
skew 0
boottrk 0
os 3
end

This is boot image for R 1715M with TOS/M and extra utils. [CopyQM].
Это имадж бут диска с TOS/M для 1715M со всяким типа WordStar и turbo pascal. [CopyQM].
This is boot image for R 1715M with SCP3. [CopyQM]
Это имадж бут диска с TOS/M для 1715M. [CopyQM]
для того чтобы из зафигачить, вам надо надыбать кульну программульку CopyQM. если
oak.oakland.edu не валяется, то посмторите тама.
или тута
To make this bytes usefull, you need to find great CopyQM programm. If you are so lucky
that oak.oakland.edu serves you, search there
or press here OTHER STUFF microgen5.17.tar.gz MicrogenSF C compiler for
CP/M from some my PC1715 diskette.
Docs in russian, I attempt to translate it here
(I'm not sure will I continue doing it or not, because...)
The author was found on radioscanner.ru forum, his nick is GenaSPB,
he says that's a full set, and he has Win32 cross-tools. Also, he sent the full
documentation Exclusive! Software by DtZ!
Coolterm - terminal (c) me with partitial VT52 emulation. Works only at 1715, not M.
Ho, it was written in 1999, and in 2013 I've found out someome found that usefull! CooltermII is Cool!
ACHTING! ЭТОПИЗДЕЦ!
After 15 years, I present: the rareiest updated software: QooltermII (yes, it changed name from CooltermII)
Now (I hope) works with CP/A and fixes some errors
