This is a Docker image that will emulate the RC2014 Z80 retro computer using RomWBW so that it can run CP/M.

The project exists because I wanted an easy way to spin up the emulator without having to compile the emulator in all its variants and keep around the RomWBW files.

It was also a way for me to learn about Docker multi-stage builds.

Build the Docker image:

docker build . --tag rc2014

Running the container will drop you into the RomWBW monitor.

docker run -it rc2014

By default, the emulator will boot up with a 128MB virtual IDE disk mounted as unit 2 with the following slices:

To boot the OS, type the command 2.0 into the monitor. This will boot unit 2, slice 0 (ZSDOS).

The virtual disk is emphemeral. You can mount an alternative directory under /disk and the emualtor will create the virtual disk there as disk.ide.

• Use an environment variable to control which IDE disk is used.
• Use an environment variable to control which ROM file is used.
• Allow multiple disks to be mounted.
• Implement a mode in which the container will, instead of booting the emulator, will allow some utilities to be run instead. For example, utilities to copy slices in and out of the disk, or to copy files in and out of a slice.
