Hejsan...

What I have gathered is that all CP/M implementations have a service call 
called USER that is machine specific (not portable between 
implementations). And CP/M? on the C128 seems to have it as well. 
According to my C128 Programmers Guide (from Compute) there is a 
subfunction of the USER-call to execute 8502 code and then return to 
CP/M... But as usual with interresting stuff in books, there's no examples 
so I'm a bit stuck...

you probably cant.... while i know virtually nothing about cpm-internals, 
i 
would guess that the only way to get this working would be either 
modifying 
64HDD or to write the equivalent of a "device-, or filesystem- driver" for 

cpm.
