Some questions for the CBM experts:
CBM->PC seems pretty trivial through a Parallel or Serial adapter
(although ML might be tricky 'cause you can't just list it), but how
do you get it back to a CBM?
If I needed to move a random block of data (ML code, for example), *one*
way, if you are using a hardware serial port on the CBM and some kind
of text capture would be to open the serial port on the CBM, CMD to it,
enter the TIM monitor, and do a Memory list command. That _should_
pump the hex dump out the serial port. If you have an advanced
monitor in another ROM socket, most of them had on-the-fly disassembly.
If you're just archiving, couldn't you just
connect the CBM cassette port
to the PC sound card line in&out...
Yes. That's been done, too.
Reminds me of the days when I "networked" my
PETs with a 40' cassette
"Null modem" cable.
Never tried that. I built the multi-machine game cable described in
an ancient issue of Byte (it wasn't so ancient at the time). I even
used it to move stuff between my 32K PET and my brand-spanking-new C-64
(since I didn't want to wait for tapes to load/save).
Where could I find that cassette reader & .wav
decoder, BTW?
I have copies of them at home. I will get names, places, etc., and
post them here.
