RE: SWTPC 6800

I don't believe anyone else has ever posted an SWTPC - specific monitor script like I posted on my site designed for the specific purpose of feeding monitor commands to load TSC BASIC via text file. You just have to follow my directions exactly. Doing so will change swtpc monitor prompt to a >

RE: SWTPC 6800

Okay this is where I was getting a bit confused -- I had gotten the impression that S1 records were essentially what was punched out on paper tape and that on loading back in, the teletype/paper tape reader was simply typing all this in as if someone was sitting there. Looking at your TSC

RE: SWTPC 6800

Thanks Brent. So when I hit the end of an 'S' record line.. is it just a Line Feed I need to go to the next? Or just type the next S record right in behind it? Also curious about how you type S records at the monitor prompt. I'm reading and trying to figure out how to do that. Many thanks!

Re: SWTPC 6800

Yes, the monitor just sees bytes coming at it, it can't distinguish whether they're typed or coming from a host/machine, as long as the byte sequence accords with the Motorola S record format. You can formulate your own S records and type them at the monitor, too. On 2016-Aug-16, at 9:09 AM,
