Anyone have the 2716 ePROM listing for IMSAI Basic.
Version 1.4 or
whatever. I once had it, can't find my copy. If not 2716, I'll take any
listing that I can convert somehow.
Thanks

Possibly the Prom-4 board with 1702s. As mentioned 2 boards = 8k. Each
chip is 256 bytes, possibly harvest the code from the listing? I'm sure
Bill is looking for someone with the image, or the chip masters.
I looked @ the listing provided, it's assembled for org 0x00. There's a
different org for CPM. So you can't use the CPM binary in rom unless
you put a rom at 0 to jump to the CPM binary, and I'm guessing it has
conditional assembly for the serial drivers.

Will be interesting to archive if someone comes up with it. Wonder if
anyone with the basics for the clone boards may have a basic which could
be used that runs on such as the Altair or Imsai clone? I know the
Altair clone has a number of alternative boot images you can select
from, could swear one is Basic, but don't have the documents handy here.
thanks
