was the bug in the z80 code or the 6502 code? It would be interesting to know if my PRORDSK package has the same problem.

It's a bit unclear. Signs are pointing to the DPB and DPH being incorrectly formed for support of drivers >= 256k. Progress has been bounded by, in no particular order:

- Real Life Intruding
- My having forgotten everything I ever knew about Z80 and 6502 assembler
- Ditto for CP/M internals
- An inability to figure out how I was once able to build the PCPI O/S
  image from scratch.

In one small victory, I was able to successfully assemble and link a device driver :-). I am closing in on having a build environment, though, and suspect it's something dirt-stupid that I'm doing/not doing.

What is PRORDSK, btw?

My ProDOS version of DosRDSK. I disassembled and fully commented commented the z80 and 6502 code from DosRDSK and then developed a ProDOS version.

I thought I sent you a copy before. Will resend.
