Read 5.25" DOS floppies on A1200 possible?

Have you tried the AmigaZ80 program from Aminet for CP/M on the Amiga?  I uploaded it and have been working on & off with getting many programs onto the "CP/M disk" to run & eventually replace AmigaZ80 on Aminet with a new version with lots of CP/M programs to run, pre-loaded.

In the post yesterday I received a fresh copy of CP/M for the C128. Machine boots just fine with the new disk. Never anticipated anything otherwise. For me it is the whole locking the disk into place and working it. Great tool I have to say. I have twin drives on the Apple and BBC and whilst the BBC works without fault I have to use a small postcard under the floppy on the Apple to get it to work. Bit of a fiddle but fine all the same. On the Checkmate the drive has illuminating LED showing the tracks speed. They truly are a wonderful bit of retro magic.

I had a quick look at it today. Didn't really understand this line ' Copy the appropriate CPU version into that newly created directory AS:Z80. ' The new directory is called CPM2.2 and the appropriate Z80, well I'm 040 so I go with that... but where and what is AS:Z80 ? I'll read all the stuff again. Struggling to see how this would boot without a command tool in C and it says nothing about copying anything to C and I'm in the main OS 3.9. I can see the assign from that line but just need help with firing up the basic Z80 can't see how that is triggered. If you know then maybe you could help. Ta .

Well, duh, to begin with:
1) Yes, I even misspelled Installation, leaving out the "s"
2) No, no, no, not directory "AS:", but in step "2)" it states: COPY the appropriate CPU version into that newly created directory (from step 1, "Work:Emulators/CPM2.2").  So for you, with a 68040, that would be the amigaz80.040 file that would be copied over as "Z80".
3) Copy over the files: Authors.README, disk.cpm, menu, Uploaders.README, Uploaders.README.info, & z80.ram into directory Work:Emulators/CPM2.2
