Looking for Pittman's Tiny Basic

Paul,

For Tiny BASIC for the Heathkit ET(A)-3400, pertinent manuals;

595 - 2021 -06 Microprocessor Trainer Model ET- 3400

595 - 2070 -01 Memory I/O Accessory Model ETA- 3400

595 - 2070 -01 Software Reference Manual Model ETA- 3400

The Trainer Manual has the schematic, assembly and operations for the
trainer.

The Memory I/O has the schematic, hardware mods and operation for the two
boxes.

The Software Reference is the Holy Grail. It has everything you need to
actually RUN the Tiny BASIC on the ET-3400. Without this book, you're
screwed. You have to launch the Tiny BASIC from the Wintek Monitor program
from an RS-232 terminal. You also get a memory map, plus some BASIC articles
from Kilobaud.

>From a Google search on "Heathkit Manuals" I was able to get most of the
manuals for $5 each. Heathkit is still around (as an Educational Company
only) but they still sell manuals. Good luck with your project !

Best regards, Steven

Tom offered to send me a paper tape if I could read it. I asked on this
list and
got a lot of offers to help... thanks to everyone who wanted to help!

Today I got email from Tom again. He moved several years ago, and just went
to look for the tapes. The box labeled TINY BASIC had paper tapes, but not
for Tiny. He's optimistic that he might still have the original tapes
somewhere
and he plans on looking for them. The only version he found so far has been
for the 1802.

In the mean time, if anyone on the list has any version of Tom's TB, he
might
appreciate getting copies, even if it's just the binaries. I'm desperately
seeking
the 6502 version, so hopefully someone can get a copy to Tom.

He must have sold quite a few copies, considering they were originally $5
each
($5 for software? Amazing!). Hopefully someone has some old copies laying
around.

Bob
