Hello all, One of the things that I’ve done a number of times is to get the original fig-FORTH running on my vintage computers. I have it running on my CP/M machines, my SWTPC (clone from Corsham Tech), and my Tandy Color Computer.
I would very much like to get it to go on my new-to-me Model 102. There are two things that I need: - What are the calls into the Model 102 ROM for doing keyboard input and screen output? - Since the fig-FORTH file will be quite large, I’ll be looking to assemble it on another computer and then send the Intel hex file into the Model 102. I would love to get a program similar to HEXLDR, that reads a true Intel hex file - BUT I need it to have the file sent in to it via the serial I/O port, rather than reading it from a .DO file. This is because my 32K machine does not have enough memory to hold the hex file in a .DO file, and have the HEXLDR program, and clear enough memory to load the fig-FORTH into, all at the same time. Any thoughts , advice, or assistance would be greatly appreciated! smp - - - Stephen Pereira Bedford, NH 03110 KB1SXE
