This has a bunch of files on it, but the three COM files are EXPORT, IMPORT, and XTRS.
Now, annoyingly, this disk image didn't load for me in MM CP/M, but I used TRSTools to copy the files to a usable blank disk image (you can download the result of this here, if you don't want to do this yourself). In the SDLTRS distribution is a subdirectory called diskimages, with a disk image called cpmutils.dsk. (I'll talk about setting up the hard drive in my next blog post, but at this point, just make sure to grab that disk image.) I put the executables on one DSK and the docs on another.
#Sdltrs .dsk roms drivers#
I had to do this with the Hard Disk Drivers disk, which was larger than a DSK. The DMK may be a larger size than the DSK, so you may have to pick which files you don't need or copy them to multiple DSK images. the DMK will probably work in TRSTools, so you can copy the files to a temporary directory, then open a blank DSK and copy the files to that. It may very well work, so go ahead and try it. If it does come in DMK only, all is not lost. All the DSK's I downloaded worked without an issue, though, so if something comes in multiple formats, always pick the DSK. However, while SDLTRS does support DMK, I noticed that a lot of them were larger than the 166k floppy drives that the emulated machine supported, so it was hit-or-miss as to whether these worked out of the box. DSK and DMK are two virtual disk image formats, so either of these are potentially usable in SDLTRS. There are two ways to do this, which I'll discuss below.

COM means that it's actually going to come as a binary program, not a disk image, so you'll need to copy it to a disk image to run it. Second, disks will be labeled as either of type COM, DSK, or DMK. I just got the last of the Montezuma Micro CP/M boot disks, and that's what I used. First, you don't need every CP/M boot disk that's out there. Now before you hop out to that site and start downloading everything like I did, you may want to pause a bit to avoid some mistakes I made.
