Introduction
These Z80 tools are a collection of free software I have collected
together with some scripts to allow them to be easily used.
These
tools are intended to allow a relative beginner to compile simple
programs that will compile to multiple 8 bit destination systems.
All
compilation is done with 'Winape's' , and it's easy to compile for
different platforms simply by commenting in or out the definitions
for
the platform you wish to compile to
Disclaimer
Please use these tools at your own risk.
They
are provided freely in the hope they will be of use, and have been
tested to the best of my ability but I cannot test in all situations
or
guarantee they will not harm your computer in some unexpected way.
These tools have been tested on Windows 10 (32 & 64 bit),
Windows 7 64 bit, and Windows XP 32 bit
With
the exception of MsxHeader and PlusThreeHeader and the scripts and
examples I did not write the tools provided in this kit - to
my
knowledge, all the tools in here are Free and open source, and there
is
no reason they cannot be redistributed - Lif you know otherwise,
please
notify me and I will take appropriate action to resolve the issue.

Usage
Extract the files from the archive into a folder on your machine -
you
need to preserve the directory structure
To start run "Zdrive.bat" this will create a virtual Z drive on your
machine
From
that Z drive use "CPC" to start winape - which should be used for
all
assembly, see Sources\HelloWorld.asm for the sample file
when you are done use "Zdrive-remove" to remove the Z drive
Please see my Youtube channel for more examples of how to use these
tools.
Notes
WabbitEmu will not work without a rom file - I cannot provide roms
to
licensing, so please supply your own
MSX_Disk
will not work without Sony HitBit rom files (or reconfigure the
script
to use other rom files you have) - I cannot provide roms to
licensing -
MSX_GO does not use disk roms and will work fine.
EP128emu has
OpenGl disabled in the batch file - this is because it caused
problems
during testing on my Windows 10 virtual machine - it's likely to be
an
isolated issue, so please edit the ENT_xxx.bat files if you want
better
performance.
The included version of Wabbitemu and OpenMSX are
not the latest, this is to maintain WindowsXP compatibility... I did
this to make it easy for people who don't use windows to use these
tools in a virtual machine - you can update these programs to the
latest version if you wish.
I've been playing a bit with programming on the Enterprise 64/128,
and
I'm pretty impressed with the hardware, but because of the relative
obscurity of the system, and its failure in the UK, finding english
resources has proved difficult.
