Hello, all:
I've made some significant progress on adding a virtual paper tape
punch/reader to Claus Guiloi's Altair Emulator. There are several other
things that I need to work on, such as the "punching" part of the punch,
console I/O (a virtual terminal), and port I/O. Any other feature
suggestions are welcome. I've made contact with Claus and he has agreed,
time permitting, to review my code. I've spent much of the time learning
Windows/C programming, so it's not pretty, but it works.
There is also another individual at MS who worked on several other
additions to the emulator, but I haven't spoken with him yet. He's made some
other enhancements, particularly to the core emulation code.
What I'd like to do is to test the file loading/saving code with some live
code so that I can see it actually work. So, I'd like to ask the audience
for some sample Altair programs based on the following specs:
- the image files need to be in both Intel HEX and/or straight binary
format.
- program samples should include both front-panel and VDT oriented
programs.
- I'd like to get a range of application and system programs, including
BASIC and a monitor program.
- I'd like to get a range of file sizes and load locations, too.
That's all for now. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know.
