This App provides information about a compact flash card.
Version 1.1 supports Z80 and Z180 processors, and CompactFlash cards at addresses 0x10 and 0x90. It is therefore compatible with RC2014 and Z50Bus systems.
This program is written as an App for the Small Computer Monitor v1.0
and later.
This program reads identification information from a Compact Flash card and displays the results. It also executes the Compact Flash’s internal diagnostics.
The program implements the recommended status checks and tests for errors reported by the Compact Flash card. As a result, it should be reliable. It is also informative if problems are detected.
Compact Flash cards in binary multiples from 1MB to 2TB should be correctly identified and described. So 1MB, 2MB, 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB should be correct, but a 48MB card will likely be reported as 32MB. It was much easier to deal with just the binary multiples than all possible sizes, so I took the easy way out. My bad!
