Generally the only port I trust is console. and I can easily transfer
files to any system that uses
a serial console because of that.

You can transfer files via serial port, using
PIP, XMODEM etc.
At the most basic level, you can transfer a index hex file load and save
it.
You can also use my simulator to transfer files into and out of images,
and then use NST to transfer those images to the real system. This may
be easier than hooking up serial lines etc.
You can "mount" files for input/output over the virtual serial port.
This
means you can mount a file then receive from it into CP/M just like you
would have done with an external PC and TTY emulator (but without the
syncronization problems).
Maybe I'm just being dense, but I cannot seem to get this working. I
hit F3 to stop, then F7 whereupon I mount the input file. Then I 'g'
back to CP/M and try:
A>PIP B:TEST.HEX=RDR:
At this point it just hangs and will not respond to Ctrl-C. If I
reboot the emulator I find an empty TEXT.$$$ file on the target disk.
In the debugger, it is simply looping on the UART status register but
apparently never seeing anything.
I'm not using a config file, which I believe makes the default 'file'.
What am I doing wrong?
