Hi Dave
When you guys get this code on CD, let me know as well.
I've been planning on getting my H8 up and running. I've
already written code to transfer disk image data from the
H89 to a PC and back. It shouldn't take much to adapt it
to work for cassette or even just a memory block.
I have a H27 that I've not tested yet, being that I've not
powered up the H8 yet. On the H89, I just used the line
printer port, since it used a straight cable to a PC
serial port. The code is bootstrapped from about 50
bytes that are entered from the monitor.

Dave,
I've got all these tapes, but I'm not sure how well they still work. I'm
planning to convert them to .wav files and save them to CD Real Soon
Now.
Stay in touch,
Jack
Hi Jack,
Thanks for the response. I would appreciate it very much if you could contact
me when you have the files converted.
I've been thinking about what would be the best way to "transport" this
code.
A CD recorded at 44khz 16-bit should work OK - another option would be to load
the tapes into the machine and then dump the binary over the serial port - what I want to ultimately do as I want to be able to
load the software into a
PC based simulator (yet to be written unless someone knows of an existing one).
Regards,
Dave
